Its my guess now after the letter saying they are reviewing opportunities , to myself subtle remarks like in the company update clearly expresses they are letting us know they have considerations on the business side and a buyout was the first thought , the technology is already validated . Shultz had no intentions of a buy out last year but other stakeholders may wish different.
Just believe the tech giants will put a wall up in front of Xped as long as possible trying to force them into a buy out and continue with their inferior legacy products unless a breakout occurs from a midsized company utilizing Xped Technology forcing their hand as FOMO occurs with tech products. Intel have to a degree hedged their risk by the porting.
My outlook has changed a fair amount in a matter of hours and are really considering the possibilty of the minimum 15% of a trill market if they are going to be bought out its totally pissed some off including myself. Holding the 50% remaining stake and will be looking out closely for Iot news and any signs of breakouts or the elusive contract announcement.
Just assumptions and opinions.
