…BMY learned the hard way to include such a proviso after its $60+ bid for IMCL was trumped by Icahn's shopping and LLY's $70 bid.
Exactly right; however, I would argue that BMY ended up doing well by not getting ImClone for $60/sh and thereby having more money to spend on more promising acquisitions.
