I believe the company has some wants this round too. Anyone who thinks we are going to reach a deal that doesn't address some of their concerns is kidding themselves and is going to be disappointed.
I don't know any specifics of what they are looking for (neither do any of us at this point) but I do expect our share to be disproportionally higher than the company's, by a lot.
To borrow someone's analogy from a few days ago, I'm expecting ours to be 95% and the company's 5%. Technically you could call that a concession, but I'd still term it a win.
