DivX made a poor decision in closing off its talks and negotiations with LU regarding the purchase of Stage6. DivX, Inc. specifically stated that the shut-down of Stage6 was in the best interest of both DivX AND its investers/share-holders. During this time, (Today and the announcement of Stage6 shut-down) DivX market price or its monetization fell severely. Many lost much money at the very announcement and panic of Stage6's closure. It did recover quite quickly, but still not to what DivX, Inc. had projected their revenues. With this public announcement by LiveUniverse, we see that lack of full disclosure to its share-holders regarding Stage6 and possible acquisition or merger with a 3rd party willing to purchase an asset that DivX had deemed a poor investment and that shutting down was its best interest, was actually NOT in its best interest nor that of Stock holders.

Not at all. DivX, Inc. SHOULD have both announced their decision NOT to allow the purchase of or merger of Stage6 with LU, and explained to its Investors/Stock-holders the discrepancies in the market value of DivX, Inc. in comparison to what would have been the actual monetized value should it have proceeded with LU's offer. Come Monday (March 10), many investers will want answers to these questions. This also has been timed perfectly, and with good reason. DivX Quarterly revenue report followed by conference call, is scheduled for next week, Tuesday March 11; The day after that DivX Inc. will be confronted with the Press release by LiveUniverse. That's my thought. As well as my concern of vested interest.
