I beg the differ, LU does a take under and investor wonder why JDSU is paying so much..

I doubt ORTL insiders consider this a "take-under." I'm guessing the deal was signed around 1/20 when the stock moved from the 120 level to 150.

Insiders (12.4 m s/o, 5.5m float) received their "premium" before the announcement.

Considering LU now has an 18% interest in Tellium, I'm also guessing there was some consideration given to their future. If ORTL owns 18%, it's a safe assumption key execs own private shares, as well, and it's no stretch to imagine how the negotiations went.
