The question is why the company is "intentionally vague" about the business combinations. The reason could be multiple suitors, hard price negotiations, balance between whether to be bought out or be a partner in a larger business objective.

But, the cancellation of the Analysts' meeting definitely rules out 'to be a partner in a larger business objective'. The cancellation of a pre-earnings analysts' meeting suggests MSPG may not be there as an entity in very near future.

Then, if it is to acquire someone, they don't need to cancel the meeting. That tells me MSPG has to be bought out. So, why it is taking time since company already hints on June 24. It could be hard price negotiation or multiple suitors involved. In any case, it indicates MSPG is fighting to get the best price for its share holders.

Take your time Brewer. We will wait.
