Vlad,
I was curious if you could differentiate between what you were told and what you inferred? I'm interested in what they said. Thanks for the DD.

Thanks,
Colby

Regarding hostile takeover,

1. Could someone please explain how this works? Does a third party acquire 51% or Vivus shares (or some large %? Of outstanding? +float?) that then allows them to dominate the Board and buy us shareholders out for any price they wish...any price??

2. Does not the Vivus anti-takeover provision of the preferred shares rights plan and other things make a hostile takeover very difficult.
