JT- don't you think DM is going to look deep into the deal points and decide who is getting what and to what extent? I do. DM not happy, NO deal. But that does not mean DM is going walk away.
They have come too far and have flipped too many shares into the market to take a DING on any buyout and particularly a backdoor deal.
But the buyer would be a stooge to NOT want the best team in ETD to lead their product development. That is a huge given. As Bolduc used to say: Rock Stars of Trace Detection.
