I believe Malyshev and his BOD have decided to make a final
offer of about .62 which should be accepted. That's midway between the .68 counteroffer and the reply offer of .55.
It also gives us a nice tidy buyout price of $200 million.

If Malyshev does not make this compromise offer, that tells me he must have had nibbles from other companies that are willing to pay more. If he lowers his asking price to .62, it means he hasn't.

(All IMO)
The owners want to sell. They don't want to mine.
The buyout offer has come at the right time. I think an accepted deal will be announced before the latest deadline.
That's why it was extended, IMO, not so everybody could relax and stay high for an extra week, but to let them reach a final agreement. With this much money at stake, they don't want to have to release a PR to announce every offer and counteroffer. They just want to see the cash.

Prediction: the next PR will state "deal or no deal".
