Merger or buyout: In my opinion, absolutely not! When they close down the fab they won't have any production capacity anyone would want. To the extent they have relationships like this with several fabs, I would think if one of them bought them out, one or more of the others would be quite unhappy and might go away, diluting the value. In particular, I don't think Yamaha would like Sanyo buying them or vice versa. The most that I could see happening is some modest financial assistance like ATMI's 1 million share purchase at $4.
