situation is two-fold IMO. Yes, squeeze II-VI for a better offer while getting the ambulance chasers off their backs.
IF Party B (the Chinese company?) does become the successful bidder then there will be the CFIUS inquiry to overcome. IF the Committee for Foreign Investment within the US does not approve the TO after 100 days, ANAD will need to start from square one again and of course the new bidders will not be offering anything close to the 78 cents presented in the Takeover bid by Party B.
Quite frankly, ANAD is running out of time as they are not in compliance to maintain their NASDAQ list.
Just my opinion on ANAD.
