RMB, if they want the best price possible, then being publicly traded DOES matter.
Most buyouts are in the 1.5x to 3x range. If we get delisted, the stock probably drops into the $0.30's.
What's a BP going to offer then? 10x?? 20x??
It's not like anyone is beating down our door to buy the company. There's no incentive for anyone to pay a huge premium at that point.
Amarin can't even sell its only product. What makes you think a BP wants to buy us? Sure, for $0.30, anyone will buy us. That's a rounding error on most BP's balance sheets.
