<<For a period of two years after the spin-off, due to current prevailing pooling of interest rules, any potential acquirer of MRVC would be subject to paying the taxes previously foregone and possibly penalties -- a daunting barrier to any post spin-off deal. >>

So, MRVC becomes less attractive as a buyout candidate and we just have to suffer through all these coming IPOs, spin-offs and distributions as planned?

Aw, gee. <g>

<< FWIW: COMS spun-off PALM in Feb 2000, exactly 24 mos. after acquiring it in the USRX purchase. >>

<< The deal was announced 2/27/97, and it closed 6/12/97. >>

Your response would have been more honest had you addressed the slight time discrepancy noted. Oh well, what's a year or 7 or 8 months among friends?
