The Rights Plan is designed to provide adequate time for shareholders of Midlands and the Board of Directors to consider and evaluate any unsolicited take-over bid for the Company; to provide the Board of Directors with adequate time to identify, develop, and negotiate alternatives for maximizing shareholder value; to provide shareholders with an equal opportunity to participate in any take-over bid; to encourage the fair treatment of shareholders in the event of any bid for Midlands, and to give shareholders adequate time to make an informed decision about any proposed transaction.

Well, one can assume the company is receiving interest from other companies? At least the company is preparing against a low ball unsolicited offer should it occur. Looks like Midlands has shareholder interests truly at heart.
