Mattel is currently trading at 23-5/16. Under the terms of the deal, TLC should be trading at $28.

There goes the premium. I'm shocked at this deal. To me, it is complete surrender by TLC management. The analysts out there have extolled TLC as a 36-40 dollar stock on its own; what possible advantage is achieved by selling to a slow growth turkey like Mattel, which just announced slow sales during its hottest selling season. Admittedly, I have very little money in TLC (having been ground up first by the Broderbund-TLC deal), but this sell-out burns me up. There must be something ugly in TLC's future to have waved the white flag like this.

Doughboy.
