Acquisition

uWink is thinly traded and closely held - a relatively few number of shareholders control a large percentage of the stock.

Any attempt to buy a controlling stake would result in the stock price rocketing up. An entity would also have to file a SEC report once their stake was > 5% stating their intent. This prevents someone for surreptitiously acquiring a controlling stake "under the radar".
