Jal, unfortunately I have never had the experience of having another buyer come in to make a bid when a HT is taking place where the new bid is not serious. It takes a lot of DD to put together an offer and that costs money. At a minimum they would negotiate a significant breakup fee to cover their costs if they do make an offer. The bankers and lawyers don't work for free and certainly not peanuts.
Even white knights result in a sale of the company. Just on better terms.
