MarginMan,

The wording in the press release was sort of confusing. Did you read it as 1/10,000 for $55. Or as 1 whole for $55? I read as #2.

My math says:

70,000,000 shares outstanding times 1/10,000 = 7,000 Preferred shares.

7,000 times $55 = 385,000 which becomes worth $110 or $385,000 more that somebody has to pay.

Is this right thinking? If so the "poison pill" ain't much to swallow for a serious acquirer.

Yeah but if you are averaged above 20 dollars a share you don't want the company to be taken out at 10 dollars a share or less in a hostile takeover.... the shareholders plan will prevent this.

My twobits.
