Since Patterson is too much of a lazy piece of crap to make his own calls, and would rather criticize someone else for not doing his work for him, I made the call to Ellen today. She stated that she categorically reassures us that the study is not related to any takeover hostile or otherwise. They are simply trying to understand whether there will be big tax loss selling (which can be guestimated by knowing the acquisition date and price). The purpose of this is that it may influence year end stock price which could influence Xoma financing options. The reason the company did a poll as opposed to checking their own records is that many stockholders are not specifically registered with the company, but are instead beneficial holders (I think thats what she called it) where the company only knowns the name of the agency purchasing on their behalf. That is the story she relayed to me - believe it or not.

Patterson, you can rest easy. You won't need to miss any Oprah episodes to make the call yourself you lazy piece of crap.
