Chinese Investment in IDTI +2

13:01 12-Apr-16

An amended 13D removes the $32 per share offer.  More likely that is the strike price of the 3.6M November 2016 calls owned by the principal party.  My take is that this does represent a legitimate investment in IDTI, and possible takeover interest.  It is unclear however, if the initial filing was the result of fraudulent intentions, or a mistake.

I continue to be positive on the stock and may publish an SA article on the event and IDTI.

Here is the 13D for the bid, however I am seeing that many traders are suspicious of its legitimacy.  To me, it looks quite plausible.  Though there might be regulatory concerns Europe might be easier on such a deal than the U.S. and this does show the value of the company's IP.

Management has responded with "no comment", but I have heard in the past that board was receptive to a sale.  On the other hand, we have seen fraudulent filings before, and the offer price is pretty high.

Well, that seemed to be a timely opinion on IDTI.  The rumor is that there is a $32 per share cash bid on the table, but I can not confirm or deny that.  More as it becomes clear.
