Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

I am all for a bidding war to high heaven, but I am not sure it'd be feasible to disclose confidential offers (or their existence) in the face of an (unknowingly) competing offer, to that competitor. That is to say, other than a wink or whatever the M&A equivalent of that is beyond "sorry we cannot accept your offer."

I think it would have to be public info, ie AMRN would accept an offer, make it public, and THEN the next bid comes in. Right?

Unrelated, but I have to speculate on the tweet on Tuesday night (right before JT's talk) saying very specifically to watch for Amarin "News" in his talk. There was no news. So, maybe they had a BO deal tentatively in place with another company that was to be announced in his talk, but PFE came in at last minute and offered more and stopping the announcement. For all we know, there could be a bidding war going on behind the scenes right now and we would never know.
