Ann: Change in substantial holding, page-60

- perhaps, just perhaps SurgCenter is one of the perpetual "partnership discussions" but he didn't like the price so he figured he'd buy up the company at a discount to what the buy in for the partnership was?

So incredibly fanciful. I see your creative writing classes have not gone to waste.

Buy up the entire company? You're DREAMING! There are inbuilt protections from how the company is structured, but just to be sure...

He's getting larger blocking stake. Being a medico who actually CARES about patients, no doubt he's a bit weary of the FDA antics. He also knows all about big Pharma which rather unwisely, you conflate him with.

As @Phaedrus says applying Occam's razor principles he's white knight and that's something anyone who has held this stock down, talked it down, while slowly acquiring for related parties, will NOT LIKE.

The last sentence is one of your more flowery. You avoid the simplest and most likely explanation and you're taking us on the scenic route.
Take a bow. Try not to fall over with your gymnastics.
