remember that ANI is putting it on the table too with this IPO- they're also not in the market to lose money- can't imagine companies casually walking into the discussion of public offerings/dilution without due reason- there are many steps before that point and remember, we got 6mos lock up- they're also not going to compromise their shares in that period of time. We are the surviving company and not the other way around- to me that means they have a momentum driven plan because you have to ask, why consider the IPO now and not doing it alone awhile ago, and at the end of the day- what's in it for ANI- the cheap IPO- if that was the case they could've merged with any other company out there for far better a deal (I recognize they do have a good deal with bpax though to our misfortune) and could've done it awhile ago.
My thoughts are- we merge, all the PR we missed this past year is gonna flood the wire and then be acquired by big pharma- 3mos or 3 years, but who really knows.
