And the 6th stakerholder who really, really, REALLY wants INTC/ALTR to
come through?  Altera's upper management.  It's been my experience the
upper management of any acquired-for-$13-billion company walk away
     
with massive WE'RE-SET-FOR-LIFE multi-million dollar golden parachutes.

Hi, John,

Please publish this and keep me anonymous.

I'm assuming you've heard that the Altera executives turned down the $54 per
share offer from Intel, yes?
     
Here's exactly what the ALTR executives turned down:

                                     total        Mar 26th      Intel
                                      ALTR          ALTR        offer
                                   shares held    at $34.58   at $54.00
                                   -----------   -----------  ---------
          John Daane, CEO            602,343       $20.8 M     $32.5 M
  Katherine Schuelke, Legal Counsel   41,146        $1.4 M      $2.2 M
           Ron Pasek, CFO             31,955        $1.1 M      $1.7 M
        William Hata, VP Engineering  17,793        $0.6 M      $0.9 M
           Brad Howe, SVP R&D         16,007        $0.5 M      $0.8 M
         Jeff Waters, GM of BUs       11,364        $0.4 M      $0.6 M
         Danny Biran, SVP Marketing    9,685        $0.3 M      $0.5 M
         Kevin Lyman, SVP of HR        4,608        $0.1 M      $0.2 M

Other than John Daane personally losing $10.7 million by rejecting the INTC
offer, the rest aren't turning down big money.  Making an avg of $300,000
added dollars is not hardly enough to retire in Silicon Valley with.

This was not the Learjet and yacht deal that you portrayed, Cooley.  I'm
thankful that Daane bravely rejected the lowball Intel offer.  Altera
has a lot more value to give its customers and shareholders than $54.
