You are grossly incorrect on the most critical point: “MARKET VALUE”

You state (in part):

The company doesnt need the shareholders.. They have done all they can to get the pps up.At this time I believe as I have said before that... they watch you all destroy the value here and at that time when it is completely worthless which isnt to faraway.. They will apply to the sec for an official STOP TRADE And then take the whole thing private..Then if Black gets an offer he doesnt have to worry about so called shareholders He pockets it all and adios.. THAT IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN... When they set up that aquisition department which none of you payed attention to... A light should have gone on,,Every great company out there has an aquisition department,,,Remember one thing All they have to pay you is MARKET VALUE and if you have forced this to .0001 That is all you will receive,,This is the more likely scenario.


YOUR POINT IS TOTALLY INCORRECT AND DOES A DISSERVICE TO REAL INVESTORS ON THIS STOCK. THE COMPANY MUST WITHOUT EXCEPTION MAKE A GOOD FAITH OFFER TO SHAREHOLDERS AND A MAJORITY OF VOTING SHARES MUST ACCEPT BEFORE ANY PRIVITIZATION DEAL IS CONSUMMATED. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE ON WALL STREET. SEE Toys “R” Us EXAMPLE AT BOTTOM OF QUOTE BELOW.

How does privatization affect a company's shareholders?
________________________________________
The most recognized transition between the private and public markets is an initial public offering (IPO). Through an IPO, a private company "goes public" by issuing shares, which transfer a portion of ownership in the company to those who buy them. However, transitions from public to private also occur. In public to private market transactions, a group of investors purchases most of the outstanding shares in the public company and makes it private by delisting it. The reasons behind the privatization of a company vary, but it often occurs when the company becomes heavily undervalued in the public market.

The process of making a public company private is relatively simple and involves far fewer regulatory hurdles than the private to public transition. At the most basic level, the private group will make an offer to the company and its shareholders. The offer will stipulate the price the group is willing to pay for the company's shares. Once the majority of the voting shares have accepted the offer, shares of the company are sold to the private bidder, and the company becomes privately held.

The biggest obstacle in this process is getting the acceptance of a company's shareholders, the majority of which need to accept the offer in order for the transition to be completed. If the deal is accepted by the shareholders, the company's buyer will pay a consenting group of shareholders the purchase price for each share they own. For example, if a shareholder owns 100 shares and the buyer offers $26 per share, the shareholder will receive $2,600 and relinquish his or her shares. There is a large benefit to this type of transaction for investors, as the private group usually offers a substantial premium for the shares compared to the current market value of the firm.

An example of a public company that became private is Toys "R" Us. In 2005, a purchasing group paid $26.75 per share to the company's shareholders - more than double the stock's $12.02 closing price on the New York Stock Exchange in January 2004, the trading day before the company announced it was considering dividing the company. As this example shows, shareholders are usually well compensated for relinquishing their shares.
