Mory's price

Mory doesn't want to sell to LU. I think there will be a bidding war
for ASND btwn $65-70 per share, but LU is the only player who
has the cash beyond $70. And, I don't think that LU can afford/risk
losing market share to ASND or losing ASND to anyone else. I
think Mory (reluctantly and under pressure) will accept $72-75.
Then he and other upper levels will have to take their millions and
find something else to do. :-)

I know some ASND engineers who are not looking forward to the
prospect of becoming LU employees by the end of the year.
ASND is a young west coast company with a philosophy that
nurtures creativity and forward thinking -- it's people are motivated.
LU is a more uptight, east coast company. I don't think the geeks
are going to adjust well -- hostile take over (which I seriously
doubt) or not.

IMHO,
ely
