With almost 150 million new shares, does this mean that NQ spent around $1.2 Billion (150m*$8 avg) on acquisitions in 2014???

Those are numbers are in common shares. You have to divide by 5 inorder to get ADSs since 1 NQ ADS is 5 common shares.

Good find, plus those purchases explain the class A expansion. Add up to 137,025,584 new shares out of the 145,628,147 total new shares. Share based comp. probably accounts for the rest.

Let's see if they can start buying back a significant portion of o/s shares once all the material info has been made public. With nearly $300mm in cash, I'd like to see a more than token buy-back program initiated. It'll also send a note of confidence to the market when mgt makes good on its announcement to purchase shares. I believe these are the types of steps that will help extinguish the lingering suspicions that may continue to dog the company for some weeks to come.
