"leading to about $8M net to PTSC."
That would be a 2 cent dividend and a one time 17% return (based in today's close) which would certainly put the SP back on an "up and to the left" trajectory, especially if more dividends are to follow.
Still, as been noted in the past, without some identifiable measure of institutional investment, this stock will continue to experience turbulence.
Hopefully the BoD will deliver on the dividends that were hinted at and will not try to get clever with other investments...
