"Willing to let go for". That's the key idea here and Dr. M is for sure a smart salesmen and CEO. If 2-73 is successful it won't be hard to prove to the big investors that a lowball buyout of $30 pps (just an example) would be a big mistake as the ad market alone could be worth in the $100s pps in a few years.
a buyout at $10 or $15 or $21 tomorrow as long as they can put a price that at least 50.1% are willing to let go of their stock for...
The stockholders are not the only ones with a decision to make. You think that BigPharmA will allow BigPharmaB to get AVXL for $10? You think BigPharamC will sit on the sidelines?
In short, if the drug is as good as they say, there will be a bidding war, if a buyout is to happen.
