>>>If I found out that the CEO of a company whose stock I owned turned down a 40% premium, I would be plenty angry at such a stupid greedy CEO. After all, 40% in the pocket is far better than 13% on a rumor.<<<

There are a great many long-term shareholders who are holding from the 40s and higher. These individuals/firms wouldn't find a 40% premium from today's prices on a buyout at 35, very enticing. To the contrary, they would probably be very angry if the company sold for so little.
