Asberry 22 Holdings Inc (ASHI)

Hi Hostastock, while I don't want to go too far down this rabbit-hole of the company being taken private by the hedge fund (the fruits of my imagination shouldn't drive a lot of posting activity), I do need to acknowledge that, as usual, you're correct. To complete the picture, at least for the moment, the level a buyout would be set would revolve around (at least) three factors:
1. Probably most important, the then-current price of the stock, as there needs to be a sufficient premium to entice holders to sell.
2. Underlying asset values of the company, both those assets which show on a balance sheet such as accounts receivable, but also intangibles such as the real value of patents.
3. Growth prospects for the company if not fully reflected in the then-current price of the stock.

I'd be overstretching the limits of my knowledge and experience if I were to pick a takeout price, but it's safe to say that the price would need to be high enough to entice the family + Perlingos to sell their shares, coupled with employment contracts going forward which would necessarily include non-compete agreements.

If the major debtholder were other than a hedge fund like TCA Global, I wouldn't be barking up this tree at all.

Have a good day, and enjoy what I think will be the ride up in the price of the stock in the coming weeks. ...and I'll close with my extreme curiosity as to why the company would believe that the second fiscal quarter would be the least active in sales volume when Christmas giving activity falls within it (Hostastock and RPH can tell us how retailers sales activity behaves at this time of the year).
