AVIR acknowledges Tang buyout offer—makes_no_recommendation_to_shareholders—(yet):

Even thought Tang’s $5.75/sh offer is a big premium to where AVIR was trading prior to the offer, it’s less than AVIR’s cash value per share. Hence, it’s hard to see how AVIR’s BoD could accept the offer. They could make a counter-proposal, of course.
