Johnny_Turk, I suspect you may not be far from the mark.
The major stakeholders now have a vested interest to consolidate the SP above $1 (at least) and avoid unnecessary distraction from their various goals. This should put an end to the amateurish market manipulation by announcement. Amgen have put their money where their mouth is and any stock shorters in UNIS should be considering their future positions.
