Maybe a smaller business than some others assumed? Its always hard to tell with private companies who don't publish much in terms of hard numbers. But clearly Lombardi was bigger than Savvion and was purchased for quite a bit more. When I hear some of the folks say "we're not for sale" I have to ask- really? Not for $100MM? $200MM? $500MM? $1B? I mean seriously, if you are a rational business person, there is some dollar amount that would make you crazy to say no, unless you just don't want to lose control of your baby at any cost. If your employees are also shareholders/owners, and you refuse a big payday, you're also refusing it for the employees and shareholders. Now, if you're not so dead set against selling, the bar is a little lower - you just want something that is a good compensation today, for future value. Either way, there's a price at which it would be irrational to not sell.
