After the merger is complete I would assume JPCI will go it's own way. I doubt thast the current company will have anything to do with Componus other than to remain with an equity stake and perhaps to help with financing arrangements. This could be a major hit for the Canouses. Deals like this do not come along very often in microcapland.
We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth... For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst; and to provide for it. --Patrick Henry, Patriot and Hero of the American Revolution
