Tamhas, thanks for the response. I agree that a counterbid may come late, as I've referenced in my posts. Language such as unless a bid comes or they will act later. But I am still surprised at the lack of noise/complaints from competitors, shareholders or even the EU with 2 major companies being bought by the American GE. Only complaints about the price I've head is from posters here wanting 600. Only possible competitor so far buying is Elliot and they are slow to get up to the expected 10%. In other deals I've been involved in, the complaints and objections have come fast and furiously. We shall see how it plays out but i'll take a nice bigger offer but only substantially above 35 which I could have got. I do think GE is the best fit. But am still a little surprised that it decided on the merger but it went beyond my expectations by buying both laser and EBM which makes more sense than just one and explains why they made this deal contra to my expectations. Just think, GE can control and maximize the benefits of both laser and EBM for each part and control in large part the technology development and timing of the technology with its money and clout. Nice deal
