HYSQ is selling off on low volume. Their shareholders will by joyous with the deal, once they start to think. They're basically doing an offering -- without underwriting fees and without the usual discount -- at a time where offerings are either impossible or go off at big discount.

VGNX book -- 9/30 -- was $62.6M, and cash and securities was $60.8M. The deal, including warrants and in the money options is $56M at HYSQ's Friday close.

If this discount to cash and securities holds, it's a no-brainer that there will be better offers. IMO.
