Terry The rights issued with the common stock do not trade unless 20% of the stock is purchased by an entity. Comment from President and Chief Executive John Maraganore called the plan a "prudent measure designed to safeguard the interests of our stockholders ... in the event of any proposed takeover of Alnylam, and to guard against partial tender offers, squeeze-outs and other abusive tactics to gain control of Alnylam." Certainly a smart move imo-------if I owned a company with potential and value I would protect it also and that is what is being done by ALNY. Glad to see a company revisit the use of rights. mj
