oferta pelas ações da empresa?

Num tindi nada !

Tava vindo pro mural postar, não tinha nem recebido a notificação da postagem do chefe ainda...rsrs.

Coisa doida né, será que isso é comum por lá?

Suponho eu que seja um tuba querendo fazer uma aquisição mais relevante e aí rola oferta desse tipo aí.

"A tender offer is a type of public takeover bid. The tender offer is a public, open offer or invitation (usually announced in a newspaper advertisement) by a prospective acquirer to all stockholders of a publicly traded corporation (the target corporation) to tender their stock for sale at a specified price during a specified time, subject to the tendering of a minimum and maximum number of shares. In a tender offer, the bidder contacts shareholders directly; the directors of the company may or may not have endorsed the tender offer proposal.

To induce the shareholders of the target company to sell, the acquirers offer price is usually at a premium over the current market price of the target company's shares. For example, if a target corporation's stock were trading at $10 per share, an acquirer might offer $11.50 per share to shareholders on the condition that 51% of shareholders agree. Cash or securities may be offered to the target company's shareholders, although a tender offer in which securities are offered as consideration is generally referred to as an "exchange offer."

Trechos do comunicado da TI sobre isso:

"TI recommends that shareholders reject the offer and not tender their shares in response because the offer is at a price below the current market price for TI shares and is subject to many conditions, including TRC Capitals right to terminate or amend the offer if the market price of TI stock decreases or TRC Capital fails to obtain necessary financing.

Mini-tender offers such as this one avoid many of the investor protections afforded for larger tender offers, including the filing of disclosure and other tender offer documents with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and other protections mandated by United States securities laws.

TRC Capital has initiated mini-tender offers for the stock of a number of different companies. The SEC has issued an investor publication cautioning investors and offering tips about mini-tender offers."

Será que isso mesmo Huoya? A Texas Instruments recomenda que os acionistas rejeitem a proposta...Logo não deve ser a própria TI fazendo recompra.
De qualquer forma, esse negócio de pegar ou largar rapidinho não é para excitar quem se propõe se manter sócio enquanto a empresa estiver boa. A menos de OPA -- aí é pra saltar fora.
