I sniff some class action lawsuits. Four stocks I have invested in were solicited by these low ball crap offers. Based on that, I imagine these companies sent out thousands of these offers, and some hapless investors tendered to them. As SEC feels these offers are in breach of their laws of conduct, hopefully these former shareholders can be compensated by getting the then prevailing market price for their stock, instead of the low ball offer.
