Dear xxxxx,
I thank you for your kind note of confidence.
Much of what I have seen on the boards or e-mailed to me is of course 50/50 and in some cases very accurate...you have some very good teammates who have done a fantastic job of DD. With respect to a buy out...I would submit this:
When a company such as Struthers gains so much attention both nationally and internationally there are other companies who would like the products we have which are unique to the industry and historically you will see acquisitions and or buy outs...in my own opinion STRU is ripe for such an action. Will it occur ? I can not say ...I could easily point out the recent
buyout of IBP from Iowa Hams by its first owner Mr. Gillette. One can surmise that IBP was bought because of its international presence and because of its size. We can speculate quite a bit on buy outs, however, no formal offer of substance has come to me...and if there was an offer of substance it would have to be substantial $15 to $30 not $3 or $4(that would be an insult) before I would bring it to the shareholders for their opinion.
I would also stress that even though I can block a hostile take over I always have the shareholder interest in mind and will consult with them.
Lets not forget we are a team ...everyone is on it and I plan on keeping it that way! I may be somewhat different than other CEO's out their and sometimes I do things which get people to scratch their heads and wonder why? But I have reasons for everything and those reasons serve all. I did not bring this company from less than .05 cents and all the professionals and the first in the world technology only to give it away...no ! We have way to much going for us to let this happen. Hope I've answered your question, and yes we are international.
With warm regards,
Douglas
