Granulocytes, specifically neutrophils, help the body fight bacterial infections. The number of granulocytes in the body usually increases when there is a serious infection. People with a lower number of granulocytes are more likely to develop bad infections more often.
Congrats on a sick trade. If the buyout happens before the options expiration, you can exercise your options for stock, purchase the stock at $28.00, and sell the shares for $40.00 and make $12.00 per share (less the price of the options). Realistically, the value of the call option will go up to $12.00+ and you can just sell the option.
Negotiations and Rival Bids. If a majority of shareholders votes to approve the buyout, the deal will go through. If they reject the offer, however, the buyer must either improve his bid or terminate the offer. The stock price will generally follow the bid, and will also increase if competitive offers are made. In this situation, investors who already own the stock can expect volatility. The price will swing on rumors, media reports and news releases by the company and the potential buyers.
