Carol Matthews....Likely...raise more Capital
at the IPO for CPQ/AV...

We are still unclear in what form AV will be spun off
and how that will be done...

With more details one can readdress this question.

RE:"Could you please explain to me what the advantage of not offering the
IPO price of Alta Vista to current shareholders? "...

They advantage is that CPQ gets to keep all the money.

The disadvantage is that CPQ stock would get trashed and lawsuits would start.
