They are trying to de-moralize the retail shareholder into accepting a low ball bid, let's say $4. With the share price in the mid $1 range, they can make a case that this is a 300% premium on the current price and a very fair deal, especially with the blockade issue.

With the amount of options the directors have and the amount of shares the big institutions have, most will make $1 million++ and move on to the next game.

Just a thought on why OUR company seems to highlight the bad news and downplay the good news.
