Frankly, Art ... SEO would gain greater wealth with a Chrome buyout by ERHC using ERHC shares, which we all know to be 'undervalued' at the moment. Heck, while he's at it he'll probably try to pull a few million $$ out too. He'll control the BOD so it would be a no-brainer. Obviously he would then own a majority of the stock which I don't think would sit well with the SEC.
Whether this would be viewed (and intended) as a raid on ERHC coffers would depend on the deal and what assets, exactly, Chrome would bring to the table.
I don't know ........ not saying it will happen - just hearing some distant 'chatter' from across big water and thinkin' out loud for the sake of conversation.
