Scott, I'm holding my shares for $1.65. However, seems a little odd that the stock is trading at such a discount to the buyout target $1.65. Such a discount can be attributed to a lack of confidence in the deal succeeding. Aside from the due diligence, I don't see there being any other hurdles. The 66.4% lockup is a very substantial amount (and probably obtained with Shearhart management cooperation). Also, because Shearhart's business is cyclical with a large proportion of its revenue generated during the upcoming holiday season, I'm sure the buyer will move quickly to acquire/control the company prior to the end of the year.
