What's interesting about those stats is that it would appear that the higher the market-cap prior to buyout, the less the premium.

Something for all the jokers to take heed of. You know, the ones that say their stock is likely to get taken out at $30, when the stock is trading at $10.00 and already has a billion dollar market-cap.
