...but manages to pick up 5% of the outstanding shares at oh, let's say .14, would the effective buyout price be $5,767,573,000.00, assuming 289,000,000 shares outstanding?

This way a buyer would not have to pay $6,069,000,000.00 for 289,000,000 shares at $21.00, for a savings of about $301,427,000.00.

Just a thought....
