There were offers made to the BOD in the recent past regarding takeovers. The board has always refused choosing to go at it alone. I don't think any bids were hostile. A hostile takeover of INPR could backfire and cause flight of whatever quality developers remain. It would be better to do a quality merger. I seem to remember an offer on the table for $18/share was refused 9 months ago.
