I love this move. The sum of the parts argument that analysts have been using to arrive at $35/share just got confirmed with this transaction. Most analysts had Flowpoint valued at around $5/CS share which is basically what this transaction works out to. This shows that management is serious about realizing shareholder value. It also sends a message to any potential buyers of the remaining pieces, that if you are interested, you had better step up to the plate sooner rather than later.
