Interesting view of tender from DYN board: ragingbull.lycos.com By: jdojr2 $$$$$ 03 Sep 2002, 02:53 PM EDT Msg. 7725 of 7750 LOL..no wonder we see no movement... I read the tender offer like this: We offer to buy your shares in DYN for $2.88 per share. We don't have the cash to do this, but have warrants that we can sell to buy your shares. Once you promise to sell us your shares, you cannot withdraw the offer, even if it takes us months to sell our warrants. Of course we may decide that we cannot fullfill our tender offer and will have to let you keep your shares. So in effect, if the price increases above $2.88, you can bet your life that they will sell the warrants. If it stays low, they may "discover" that they cannot sell thier warrants. SO they are locking you into a $2.88 price, basically at thier option, not yours. A losing deal fr shareholders. Therefore the DYN board better hurry up and say..."shareholders, don't fall for it". I am unclear what the "warrants are. BUt I gather they are for shares of Mainstreet. Which means that they probably cannot exercise them unless the price of the stocks thy are trying to buy increases above the tender value. BEWARE. all this IMO only..read it an talk to a lawyer or CPA is you really want to understand the offer.
