There's been a cultural change, a perspective that merging with another company or being acquired by an outside company is no longer a sign of weakness, or of business failing somewhere along the line. It's more of a realization that it's part of growth in the modern world.

I think it's a good company with a very strong management and it's priced very attractively relative to the market and its peers like T. Rowe Price and Franklin Resources.

We think it is a great plan and we're very supportive of the company and management and look forward to the execution of their program.

We believe this represents a fundamental shift for the company and, at a minimum, indicates management is serious about considering all options for profitable growth.
