With everybody thinking that pphm is worth somewhere between $2.5B and $60B (I think those are the numbers I have seen) wouldn't this be the time for one of the BPs to try a hostile takeover?

The $11/share poison pill only accounts for about $1.1B or so. Not sure how all the workings of the poison pill would effect what it would cost the BP attempting the takeover.

Let's say they bought the 15% somehow to trigger the poison pill and then made a hostile bid of $5B. What would happen?
