Don't know. Cisco's Q ends 10/27. If you were their CEO, (under full disclosure to their SHs) would you want to have on record the following info released on that date: Management's acquisition of Duo now exposes our company to the very real possibility of treble damages if Ropes and Gray prevail on behalf of litigant SFOR.
That IMHO could be a career ending admission! Why not avoid having to inform SHs of that by heading it off at the pass by a settlement with SFOR before 10/27?
