crowe,
My read is that TPD was never part of the STX PB grand strategy - NEVER!
BUT...in the last few months, it has become a "nice to have at the right price" thing. The offer from STX has always looked a bit like a "take it or leave it" offer, where STX threatened to walk if pushed too hard.
However, when STX initially approached TPD it was easy to be bolshie and hardball, especially behind closed doors. Now that they have been a couple for some time STX will have started to think, dream dreams, and plan a new future with $90mil pa of cashflow instead of $50mil.
STX has flagged their intention to acquire TPD on their terms in public so egos are now involved, and losing TPD come Dec would be hard for the STX BOD to take and harder still to lose that extra cash.
Winning a game of brinkmanship like this, between STX & TPD can drive powerful motives....and it's not the TPD BOD they are up against, it's the grumbling shareholders.
Pure spec - no factual basis for any of the above!
