TM is trying to lay the last several years of mess on Lutz' doorstep and that's a joke. The performance of the company was pretty bad before, during and probably after Lutz. TM's problem is that though 78% of the company is owned by others he continues to believe and act as though it is "his" company. This is a replay of CS/Benson.

The telecom equipment market is rapidly consolidating, while many new startups are developing the next generations of equipment. IMO any offer above $35 is worthy of consideration and any offer above $40 should be taken...

As stated previously, my guess is that he will rebuff all the near term offers, with 22% control the board will not be able to remove him, he won't go voluntarily either.

I have said it many times before that TM is the lone person standing in the way of a takeout.The time has come for this arrogant man to stand like a man and listen to his board.This company has been the object of interest when it was trading at $40 US so it does not surprise me to see so much interest at these levels.Word on the shop floor is they will get an offer or two next week.That is if my sources are reliable.
