Rich - thats an interesting theory and good thought process. I am not disagreeing. However, Have you taken a look at company bylaws and what kind of power it gives to the board of directors? Also, The CEO will make a lot of money if there is a change of control - DESPITE that, they did not sell.

So i agree - the question indeed is why! why did they not sell? However, will it bring litigation is a big question. And if there is heavy litigation, what are the possible outcomes? Coty is prob. not coming back. so as a shareholder, you lose either way.

Do they have a counter offer on the table? I think thats the question that is worth asking. I don;t think you should focus so much on the legal issues, but about why this happened? Am sure board must have thought about potential litigation......unless they go back to coty. If they do, I believe buffett being buffett, they might not get the same offer.Besides you cannot force them to sell, if they have a reason not to.
