Share price is always important in a buyout, at least in my experience....it's not irrelevant that's for sure. I think we are going to the NASDAQ first.
You are correct that shareprice is definitely important in the buyout of a food company or a sporting goods store but it will have nothing to do with any offer made to buyout POET.
When purchasing a tech company and especially one with the forward earnings potential of a disruptive technology like POET let the offers begin in the $50.00 range and go up from there.
I will be amazed if this company isn't taken out in the next six months. Final proof of its value may well be available in the next 45 days and then watch out.
IBK, PNP, AM, PC and me would love to see this scenario take place.
