This steaming turd of a stock is the only thing in my portfolio that is red today. It shows up as dark stain in amongst the calming green of success elsewhere. Management need to sort this out very quickly, get the deal done - do what is needed, improve the terms if necessary.

This is turning into a long and drawn out "death by many cuts" type saga. The longer this dribbles on, the more management are distracted, the more angry investors get, the more likely management of both companies take their eyes off the ball of running their companies, the less likely the deal is to succeed, and the closer this thing gets to court.
