Yeah, I totally agree, what about future earnings?, so convenient just to ignore it. Rejecting the offer is the only way to go, unless they give a better pricing.

I think this offer seriously undervalues the company. more striking is the simple arithmetic of using offer price less the exercise price to value the warrant. This method of calculating the price of warrants completely ignores the time component or the time value. Investing is all about buying for future value and this method of calculating warrant value cannot be accepted and should not be approved.
