If Sparx owns a majority or close to a majority of the shares, you are right, it wont happen. More likely is what P.A. said: this kind of uncivilized behavior does not happen in Japan. If Sparx does not own a majority and it was a US company, this could happen, and the stock price might actually go up. > > Kamakasi Pentax? > > Hara-Kiri Pentax? > > I'd prefer... > > Samurai Pentax.
