The right thing, so to speak. We believe the right thing is ultimately to say, wait a second, putting these two companies together at this point would do damage to both of them, not to shareholders of ROHM AND HAAS but perhaps to its employees.

Stock 52 week high was at $43 that things are pretty bad here, how do they turn this story >> I think the problem they have is — I think the big thing people need to focus on is they have the term loan the financing of ROHM & HAAS that expires in one year which I believe is going to be january 2010, and then they basically have to use either proceeds to pay it down or they might have to cut the dividend to keep the credit ratings high enough where they14 days ago

It’s just a question of timing. Does it happen now? Does ROHM & HAAS have to happen over the summer, in the fall? Can they sell these businesses and get cash for them in the meantime? If they can, then things will be if they are forced to swallow ROHM & HAAS now, it is going to be bad news for shareholders. It’s going to be bad news for a lot of people because the debt burdens, the credit rating agencies are all going to come down on the combined entity, and I think based on what the judge14 days ago

So it’s just not clear what kind of value they would get or who would be interested in this type alexis: todd, you know, it seems like the perfect storm for them, a combination of this kuwaiti deal falling apart. The situation with ROHM & HAAS which, you know, six months ago seemed like a reasonable deal and now it’s not that reasonable given the current climate. Where does this stand? >> well, right now ROHM & HAAS is before the court, and the court has discretion on the equity that they can decide on.

But they can come back and delay the equity and when they have to close it, and they have a wide14 days ago

First talk about this kuwaiti >> it is important. They expected proceeds of over 9 billion dollars which was going to be use to fund at least half of the ROHM & HAAS purchase.

Deal today. >> andrew, obviously, there’s a lot of conjecture that behind the scenes you may have gone to ROHM & HAAS to say what do we do here? Are you seeing any openness at all at ROHM & HAAS to a different term renogotiating the deal? If you talk to him and are you getting anywhere? >> I want to take this opportunity to answer that question, joe, by starting out by saying I have huge respect for the leaders and the people of ROHM & HAAS.

You know, the world does not work in two-day increments. I’m not here to satisfy everybody on a day to day basis. We have to think about the long-term here.
