when they could just buy the whole company for $65M
Notwithstanding the fact that any offer would have to be acceptable to the BoD, I humbly suggest a review of the "Master Agreement" concerning "change of control".
If you believe that the shares could be purchased on the open market, so as to effectively gain control, I would merely refer you to the conditions under which S&L had to operate.
Finally, it is difficult to imagine that share purchases to that magnitude would not also push the price significantly higher.
