As Esh has been pointing out there is a distinct possibility that  RMS get control of EXU but not the 90% needed for compulsory acquisition .

In this scenario EXU continues as a listed company and of course the money to be payed to ALK  is owed by the company .(Board changes of course .)

Well , would be anyway as a full takeover takes time .

RMS has said they're prepared to lend money to keep EXU solvent  .

Doesn't seem in anyones interests to gift the money to ALK .
