Yes, hence the word 'settlement' in my original comment. As in: you ensure we get a controlling interest and we'll let you go quietly.

MS doesn't have enough leverage to pull such move.

The board could decide to kill the company in MS not only loses a 10 billion invest but has to reconsider its whole artificial intelligence integration push.

This comment didn't age well.

MS did have the leverage, and by offering jobs to 700 people at once they felt safe in their move to pressure the board in a way that I'm still quite impressed by. It's probably the most vivid example of the power of the workforce in the 21st century West.
