gerry2 (Post 16055) on the contrary, as OXB's CEO and his wife hold 17.5m shares in the Company, it is logical to conclude they may be happy with a take-over imo. Otherwise, what is the point in holding 17.5m shares. They do not pay a dividend, and cannot be sold on the normal market because it would affect confidence in the Company; and so a take-over is really the only way they could unlock the potential value in their shareholding. Also they are currently still young enough to enjoy the proceeds. Furthermore, other long-term investors are now itching for a decent return on their investment and a take-over would probably give the best price!
