BUYOUT in the works? Under the circumstances, the company need not announce that it is entertaining bids. Ask yourselves, what is in the best interets of the shareholders? Generally attractive bids must be evaluated and considered. It is my opinion that bids have been considered in the past two weeks and will proceed any filings. This is in the best interest of the shareholders, and the fiduciary responsibility of SPNG directors and executives. Once bilateral decisions are made, a buyout will be announced, or filings will be made with SPNG moving forward as a stand alone. Think it through.
