WSTG...N&W/SK tried this crap with CSPI a few years ago. It backfired. They first offered CSPI $5.50 and share to buy them out and then $7 a share. CSPI shareholders turned it down. (CSPI now trading at $13 with huge upside potential).
WSTG...Should hear news on the proposal by next Tuesday morning (if I'm understanding the filing right). It's a big win/win for me either way, but I hope to hell it does not go through. Based on WSTG's latest presentations, they are on a strong path of growth. North & Webster/Shepherd KaplanKrochuk knows it and that's why they own 5%+ of Wayside and are trying to acquire (steal) them. Their closing techniques backfired when they tried to acquire CSPI and I hope to hell WSTG sees through the BS... "The SKK Reporting Persons further stated that the proposal will expire if the Letter has not been executed by the Issuer by the close of business on Monday, December 16, 2019." https://secfilings.nasdaq.com/filingFrameset.asp?FilingID=13791957&RcvdDate=12/12/2019&CoName=WAYSIDE%20TECHNOLOGY%20GROUP%2C%20INC.&FormType=SC%2013D/A&View=html
WSTG...Wayside has been quiet as a statue since the buyout proposal last month. Doubt the offer of $16.38 was/will be accepted. Q4 FY2019 (and Q1 FY2020) should show strong #'s, so hopefully the buyout bid/stock price will go up when Wayside reports. We'll see what happens.
