NeoMedia Technologies, Inc (NEOM)

[silversmith]

I believe that current shareholders should be preparing for the task of deciding whether to tender their NEOM shares for an upcoming buyout offer. I think that the HUGE news is going to be that NeoMedia has an offer to be purchased.

If the news was that NeoMedia has obtained investor/partnership financing, then Ian would not have said a word to Bena about big news coming. He would have simply delayed the interview.He would not have risked influencing the share price. If the news was about big new licensing, things would be much less quiet than it is and has been.

The news could still be about an agreement about ScanBuy, but I doubt it because of the interview that Bena had with YA representation and the latest vested options docs.

Bena's interview with YA produced "NeoMedia is a great company.". "They are in a strong position." There are only two fundamental intents with the phrase that NeoMedia is a great company. One is that of describing a stalwart, impressive, I wish I had it for myself, kind of meaning. The other is that of, I am glad that I have it for myself, and the closely associated- I am going to miss it when it is gone, meaning. We all know that NeoMedia is not a stalwart, impressive company, so it must be the other intent. An offer to buy NeoMedia is independant of the current share price. Ian could safely tell bena that a big deal is in the works ( to settle us down from all of the mutiny talk- we are the reason that Ian felt compelled to say this to Bena) without sinking a buyout offer. YA does not own or grow businesses, house cleaning and organizing of vested stock options docs, Ians unwritten mission/marching orders to sell the company, no hiring of new employees, no money grab from YA financing to grow operations, no news of additional deals from media corporations, etc, etc. This all looks to me to be a deal of a sale of the company.

What is a proper and fair shareholder share price offer? We need to come to a concensus on this.
