If Aurora takes over Cannimed, Newstrike will follow. They aren't going to turn over a new leaf and say..... "what?? Now that Aurora is in this, no deal." It makes no sense. If Cannimed goes, Newstrike has to go.
My problem is the prior argument. It doesn't make sense for Zettl to throw up horse shoes and handgrenades because he thought his company was worth more. He stated in a live video that he thought Cannimed was a power house and was strong. I think what's going on is that the other major investors would sway their vote if the deal got better, which could be disastrous for Zettl. So now, he has his hands to the fire and is being forced by the other investors which in essence, could do major swaying.
