Hi Johnny:
It's easy to imagine that they are too busy, um, synergizing...
and suffering raging hierarchical disputes and maneuverings to bother about mere , incidental, minority stockholders.
Wonder if they can actually make it work?
The history of mergers is a mixed bag at best and neither company was thriving. It would take a brilliant CEO to make it work and i don't see evidence of one.
Instead of advancing the product and the science, they appear to be concentrating on the business of business instead.
