On parachutes, an acquirer could offer, say, $3.50 with them or $4.00 if they were cancelled, putting mgmt under severe pressure to cancel them, under the circumstances (especially since they might come out OK, with their large stock positions).
On earnings, I was just paraphrasing mgmt on the conference call. No one asked what that might mean, or what might have to fall into place for that to happen.
On the call, in response to my question, mgmt did say they have always been interested in shareholder value, and not adverse to a takeover, and did recognize that a larger company might do better with their products. If you know some companies that might be interested, I would send them a headsup to the effect that DWCH might be interested in an offer, and that you certainly would be. |
