I think HWP's best strategy right now would be to announce they're not going through with the deal at the current ratio, and pay the $675 M ... and HWP could then make an offer at, say, a ratio of .5

I just dont see what benefits HWP gets by buying CPQ.
more baggage than is necessary to get HWP going at full steam.

cheers, kumar
