Well, interest is interest. And it raises the buy out price also.So a hardball bidder has to realize that a deadline driven bid is NOT leverage, its just a price tag fattening agent after 7/1.
But that thought suggests that this will slide on by 6/30. It could, but time is ticking and competitors are developing and buyers of next gen. ETD are hankering.
Any undervalued BID should be ignored. The company is too valuable to let a deadline create an undervalued bid. I think DM has a handle on EV for ISC.
