Rudedog: Unless you have some other source, I believe it was Lynn, last evening, using a hypothetical example based on her expereinces as a shareholder in other companies who introduced the 12/1 idea. I have not heard of it coming from any media commentator or analyst. Kumar's $2 billion is reasonable but at the lower end of the $2-5 billion talked about in the Street. This figure is based on how AV is right now. It is clear from EP statements today that that is not how AV will look before it is brought to market. It may be a much bigger "elephant" then. The fact is that nobody has said shareholders or CPQ will be issued with any shares of the new company. But from the tone and context of the statements the inference is that at least CPQ will have a continuing beneficial relationship with the AV company. This would seem to require a controlling stake in the new comapny. I think the sheer wieght of shareholding politics will require that shareholders be granted at least nominal amounts of shares and a preferential right to buy a limited quota of shares at the initial offer price.
