yes it does, and AVXL has several mechanisms in place to discourge and fight a takeover. Still, SAVA should have gone balz to the walls and tried. When AVXL was 17, SAVA was 140+. It would have been hard for avxl to turn down a triple, 51 bucks a share. This would have also brought SAVA down to 51 bucks a share. Who know what the price would be today, somewhere between 30 and 50 imho but for both companies, and their cash horde of 425 million. The key is they are far better to fight the many tactics of Big Pharma with that kind of money, and with mulitple technologies. imho.....
Sava should have gotten it. And could have. If I was avxl, I know I would have jumped at 50 bucks!!!
