I say the plan lets the tension out. It's obvious to me that DECN will be acquired-this is the beginning of the end game, but I believe more on a negotiated sale at a much better price a little farther down the road-maybe 6-12 months. Berman will use the poison pill (issuing preferreds) if there's a hostile takeover attempt.

Also, previous mention of the "one rogue Director" being bought out in a hostile effort I think is moot now that Lyons is gone. He can sell personal shares, but that's it. "Rogue" couldn't have been referring to Jagunich since he's back as the M&A expert, brought back specifically to lead the M&A effort. This is the final stretch for DECN as we know it-but with a lot still to be done. Here's to maximizing the sale for the benefit of all. Everyone hang on to your hats.
