Merger. LU holders will get 35-40% of the combined stock price.
So, if the price is $18, LU holders will get about $7-8. Hey, I'll take it.
March 31, 2006 03:01:37 (ET)
PARIS, March 31 (Reuters) - A planned merger between France's Alcatel and smaller U.S. rival Lucent Technologies is "95 percent" finalised and the terms could be announced next week, sources close to the matter said on Friday.
Alcatel ((CGEP.PA)) will acquire Lucent without paying a premium. Based on current share prices, Alcatel shareholders will have 60 to 65 percent in the combination and those of Lucent (LU,Trade) the rest.
The group will be based in Paris and incorporated under French law. There will be parity between the two companies on the group's supervisory board with an important number of independent U.S. non-executive directors.
Serge Tchuruk, executive chairman at Alcatel, will be non-executive chairman of the new group but with extended powers. Lucent's Patricia Russo will be the managing director at Alcatel-Lucent with Alcatel's Mike Quigley as number two.

From the last filing:
General Information
We are asking shareowners to approve a proposal that would grant the Board of Directors the authority to effect a reverse stock split at any of the following three ratios: 1-for-5; 1-for-10; or 1-for-15. At our 2003, 2004 and 2005 annual meetings, shareowners authorized the Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split at any one of four ratios. The authority granted by shareowners to the Board of Directors at the 2005 annual meeting expires on February 15, 2006. The Board of Directors has not yet effected a reverse stock split at the time this proxy statement was printed because the Board has determined that the timing has not yet been appropriate to effect a reverse stock split in a manner that would be beneficial to the long-term value of Lucent common stock with the least amount of adverse impact on the short-term value. However, the Board of Directors still believes shareowners’ interests will be best served if the Board has the authority and flexibility to effect a reverse stock split.
Accordingly, the Board of Directors has again unanimously adopted a resolution seeking shareowner approval of an amendment to Lucent’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of Lucent common stock. If shareowners approve this proposal, the Board of Directors may subsequently effect, in its sole discretion, a reverse stock split based upon any of the following three ratios: 1-for-5; 1-for-10; or 1-for-15. If this amendment is approved by shareowners, the Board of Directors would have the authority to effect a reverse stock split at any of those ratios at any time until February 14, 2007. In addition, notwithstanding approval of this proposal by shareowners, the Board of Directors may determine not to effect, and abandon, a reverse stock split without further action by our shareowners.
IOW,
It hasn't been decided yet.
Have fun,
Phil

PTHO to Soar 600 Percent...
$12 Price Target on Huge News and
Record Breaking Contracts.
PTHO rated an “Urgent Buy” for aggressive investors must act quickly to accumulate a substantial position just before earth-shattering news is released that will send shockwaves through the core of the NanoTechnology industry.
Company: PSI-TEC HOLDINGS INC
Symbol: PTHO
Price 1.55
Shares Outstanding: 24 mill
Est Float: 2.6 mill
52 wk H/L : 5.45/.75
Rated: Urgent Buy
Outlook: Soaring Growth
Higher exchange listing anticipated near-term
PTHO Stock Breakout
Technically, PTHO has been trading in a very tight range around the $2.25 level. Increasing levels of broker and investor participation along with upcoming massive exposure will generate astounding upside movement, producing initial gains which could shoot the company back to it's year high of $5.45, then eclipsing this level on the way to double-digit territory.
Company Introduction
PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc. (OTC: PTHO) is an innovative, emerging leader engaged in the scientific development of highly advanced, next-generation Electro-Optic (EO) polymers. Speed, performance, and efficiency of their patented technologies place PTHO at the forefront of NanoTechnology, the world’s fastest growing industry.
Record Sales and Earnings
PTHO scores high marks as one of the very few “pure play” publicly traded NanoTech companies. Given their earning power and exponential revenue growth, standard analyst formulas would peg the stock at 5X to 7X its present valuation, even at a conservative P/E multiple.
PTHO has already received strong interest from leading technology companies in its core target markets of telecommunications, satellite, and aerial guidance / reconnaissance. Given the tremendous impact the Company’s polymers present for these markets, it is not unreasonable to envision a licensing agreement for use of PTHO’s technology that may very well exceed the $100 Million benchmark. We expect PTHO to conclude one or more lucrative licensing arrangements with major corporations over the near to intermediate term.
Escalated sales forecasts share a robust equivalency with the early, dramatic growth rates of Fortune 500 leaders in their heyday. Very seldom do you get perfection, yet this flawless, unknown gem has qualities resembling high- caliber Blue Chips that place it on a level that’s about as close as you can get.
Out of thousands of OTC companies we have reviewed, PTHO is the stock best qualified to earn the designation of Soaring Stock Pick! PTHO has hit its cruising speed, analytically viewed as a Company operating on a higher level. While approaching significant corporate milestones, we’re tuned into the cash-rich results of cascading growth nearly across the board.
Early investors must act quickly to avoid competing for shares as a flood of new buyers will imminently wake up and jump on board, leaving procrastinators to sit around wondering why they didn't buy PTHO when it was really cheap in September.

Lucent Tech Discovers $80 Million Accounting Error In Balance Sheet
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Lucent Technologies Inc. (LU) disclosed Tuesday that it became aware of an error reported in its fourth-quarter and fiscal year financials last week that will result in an $80 million increase in its pension liabilities and a corresponding reduction in shareowners' equity.
The designer and deliverer of systems, software and services for next- generation communications networks for service providers and enterprises said in a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the adjustment is the result of an error with preliminary actuarial information used in calculating its pension liabilities as of Sept. 30.
Lucent said it expects a final actuarial report early this month, at which time it will finalize the amount of the adjustment.
The company doesn't expect the adjustment to impact its previously reported results of operations or cash flows for the quarter or fiscal year, according to the filing.
In addition, Lucent lowered its previous estimate for fiscal 2006 income tax expense to $170 million from $200 million as a result of the adjustment.
