As unlikely as a $500MM buyout is, that is still only .04 based on 12BB OS (assuming that a buyout comes before the acquisitions are completed, Pepsi, or whoever, would have to cover ALL the OS). Anyways, .04 is hardly going to make many a millionaire.
Bob needs to get those pledged shares back for sure then start a share retirement/buyback program and get the A/S under a billion and the O/S something like $500 million, but none of that will pop the pps until he publishes audited financials. he's not that young and the clock is ticking. i'd think he'd want to move thing along smartly (not taking away what he has accomplished in the past year). the company needs professional management at this point.
