Another thought on defending against a buyout; Research Union Carbide in January 1986. They were in play, meaning at risk of loosing their independence. Study how they fought the battle. Fortunes were made by anyone dumb enough to own companies in play. Study Revlon, 1987. Their self tender for a % of all common. AINC in 1987.
Fast forward to CYDY.
Lets stipulate they have the Flu FDA approval 2,000,0000,000 revenues. Close to 1$ per share earnings with every billion in revenue.
That estimate is based on 700 million shares outstanding, not 500 million. Also my guess is 1000$ per dose. If I'm incorrect cut my numbers in half. No problem. I will need a semi truck to haul 100$ bills. Visualize that.
Then HIV is FDA approved.
OK, we, CYDY is making bouncing on a minimum of 2$ a share earnings in the next 12 months. I can paint a picture that this number is way conservative. The 12 month number can be 10 billion. 5 year number can be 500 billion.
Now we are one of the fastest growing companies in the market. Huge upward price moves.
How can the company fight an unsolicited buy offer?
I overlooked two methods from my past. Easy, CYDY does a partial buyback for lets stipulate 10% of all common. You can tender or hold. Common shareholders choice. Big Pharma offers 50$. CYDY offer 60$ in the tender. Big Pharma might counter, now 70$. No problem. CYDY tenders at 100$
Here is how this works.
The tender must be advertised in a full page Wall Street Journal one month prior to the tender date. Lets say it is for 5% of all outstanding or 70 million shares. This total is 3 1/2 billion $$.
With my projections that number is a snap.
If 10% of all shares tender only 1/2 of any shareholders stock is purchased. This is handled by your broker.
If only 4% of the shares are tendered every share offered is purchased. Presto, our earning grow at a faster rate next quarter.
In simple words, we can fight Big Pharma. Some one with skills send this to Nader. In my past I was paid to invent ideas similar to this and or participate as a shareholder. It was a hoot.
