@thecontracap 1/x)$ANAB also not a lawyer but seems to me that the implications of GSK's position would be catastrophic for contract law in DE if supported by the court. Effectively, any acquiror could disavow the obligations of a purchased subsidiary. Which seems "absurd" in the legal sense.

I exited my $MLP. After spending a lot more time on this name, I no longer have confidence in the thesis. While I believe there is tremendous asset value, the time to monetize keeps getting pushed out, and the costs to achieve any reasonable realization could be large. I am also concerned that Steve Case doesn't have as much skin in the game as the market thinks, given that he has margin loans out on his position. https://t.co/TePual6ezP
