CTG-Speculation Assurance Global Services came back knocking on the door with a higher offer of 7 dollar in cash. I can't believe the board would accept such an offer. I'm guessing the board comes back with the response. The AGS offer undervalues the company. The very fact CTG board had a Dutch Tender at over 8 a couple of years ago demonstrates the point. There's still questions if AGS is serious and has the funding in place to execute such an offer? IMO a management led buyout could be a possibility for a response? This hypothetical scenario would be a better way to retain and preserve the company's employees & business moving forward. The company recently sold IBM receivables which could help fund this hypothetical scenario. The company also has a good balance sheet. IMO in which to fund a hypothetical management led buyout. CTG's European Business just received some new contracts. Most likely lucrative higher margined contracts. The company seems on coarse for improving fundamentals. There's nothing reported on the IBM contract as of yet. This generated a big portion of CTG business. Raymond James is the company financial advisor. I could be wrong, but I'm just guessing AGS would like to see the company explore strategic alternatives, such as putting the company of for sale, than follow through with the offer?
