I remember reading about their accounting switchover, but don't know the details. What I am fairly certain of is that an offer WAS made, and turned down, at $35 (having heard it earlier today from reliable sources and then hearing it confirmed a little while ago on CNBC, which is when I posted it).

We'll likely hear more in the days to come. Nortel is also considered a possible bidder. Price target? $40. Watch for an ASND gap up tomorrow.
