This could have been very hard to settle, with neither side completely happy. LP should be damn happy to keep 83% of the award and be left with over 200M shares worth of options at fairly low strike price. A buyout even at $2.50 nets her a half-B, much more on a bigger buyout. Any buyer of NW would definitely need this lawsuit to be settled!

Direct is a huge question mark - if it does work well, it's worth huge $, but that remains to be seen. The Roswell IP might be worth a lot, too, but that also is unproven. So my opinion has been that it would be unlikely for LP and a buyer to come to terms. BUT even on a very small settlement she definitely walks away with generational $. A buyout even for a measly $4-5B would be better for shareholders that if the pps were to languish indefinitely. Nobody can begin to guess what the actual number might be.
