Looks like the Plan A was bankrupt aearo. The indy judge nuked that option. Plan B is the ongoing layoffs (Mike refuses to give a number because perhaps Monish is running the show and Mike is just a figurehead).
Plan C? Retire Mike and bring back Inge by offering him cash up front and deferred shares? Who knows but inge got out at the right time. Did he sell off everything at 250 like the rest of us poor 3M servants should have?
