Just an observation, and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this considered a public offering?

That's definitely a way to go, but I'm not sure I'd ever advise it. In this case, given the company has already been in the press for layoffs, CEO departures, etc., this sounds like they're putting themselves up for a fire sale, and have completely devalued themselves. To attract acquiring companies in a meaningful way, you create value around your company, offering, etc. by publicizing its innovations, strategic partnerships, valuable IP. Create perception that you're viable, compelling and valuable, you'll get offers!

That's my 10 cents, my two cents is free...
