Back of the napkin type of math, but looking at balance sheet, reported net assets should be around $2.6bn taking into account write down. This reflects a share price of $4.20. (Numbers very rough, might double check when I get home)
Wonder how this is intended to impact negotiations.
Feel bad for all buyers above this figure. But happy for myself.
I'm changing my sentiment to buy. I'll start accumulating if I get cash before it goes back up.

Very good point, hard for the board to accept an offer less than that, and anything above that would have to be considered a premium.
