Myukonos is plenty of churchs and monasteries, but in this place you can see a enormous quantity of marble over the walls, something you can't imagine outside Acropolis.
Our ship, the MS Rotterdam, docked in Corfu (Kerkira) Greece in Mid November, 2016. We had planned to take a Hop on Hop off bus but found that for about the same price, the four of us could rent a taxi with an English speaking driver and tour the entire island for 5 hours (although he had asked for 80...
We only went to the Monastery as on our way back to our hotel after a day out and was recommended in the guide book. Not really worth making a special trip to see.
surprised to see a sign for ticket entrance even if it is 1 euro. access to churches should be totally free. the church inside very beautiful
We took a morning bus ride from our hotel to the Monastery. It was small & we were done seeing everything within half an hour. We then looked at the few shops in the square. It was too early for lunch & the next bus to return was not for another few hours so we took a taxi back to...
The Monastery of Panayia Tourliani is very close to the restaurant that the cruise ship tours take their passengers to eat. It is worth a little pop-in. A quiet oasis.
The monastery was smaller than we had anticipated, but the location was lovely because it was surrounded with flowers and trees.
Although rated as average the monastery is nice to visit but only as part of a tour as it is a trek to get there. Best on a guided tour so you get to know the history. the views are however very good, local food at town square basic but good value.
It is not worth the trip but, if you pass by, it is a pleasant stop. Small church, there is not much to see but it speaks of a long religious tradition that continues till now. Entrance costs 1 Euro.
This site was included in a Scenic Views of Mykonos tour booked through Norwegian cruise lines. The Monastery of Panagia Tourliani was founded back in 1580. You walk through a beautiful red door to the courtyard which has a beautiful marble bell tower with intricate folk carvings. Inside their is a iconostasis (altar screen), made in 1775 by Florentine artists....

He frequently plays principal trumpet with the Santa Cruz Symphony Orchestra and freelances throughout the Bay Area.

Call (888) 651-9785
I thought at first that visiting three missions would be too much of the same thing. Not at all! Each one was so uniquely different. Renee was our driver, and was excellent. Another superb tour booked through Viator!
Marc USA
I had a limited amount of time in San Antonio, so I booked this mini-City Tour. I cannot say anything but so happy that Perry was my guide. He was funny, informative and was a local. He provided us with an 'insider' point of view with what we were seeing and experiencing. The Alamo was definitely one of the highlights of the tour. If you're in San Antonio, book this tour and ask for Perry.
This tour was amazing!
We had a group of 16 so we had a private bus which was great. We also had the best tour guide. He really knew his history and was funny too. I would go on any tour he was giving.
nice tour
Dennis D USA
Informative tour. The tour guide seemed knowledgeable about the missions. The day before we did the Hill country tour, with a different tour guide, both were very informative, most especially at San Antonio's festival time downtown.
Antonio C Portugal
Important things were shown.
Our bus driver, Terri, was great. She told us lot about each stop. However, once off the bus, each stop, except for the river cruise, was essentially self guided.
Air conditioner on the bus was broken.
It is hard to give a fair evaluation as the weather was so bad during our tour. The guide did the best he could as also there was a marathon in San Antonio which had a lot of the streets blocked. We did see two missions as well as the Alamo. By noon we were soaked and left the tour early to go back to the hotel to get dry and warm.
There were some misunderstanding on the meeting place so we waited outside of Alamo for 1/2 hr doing nothing.
Overall, I didn't find the guide very knowledgable. She had answers for many questions and was friendly but the level of knowledge was superficial. For example, she didn't know much about the natives or the dates of the buildings. It would be great if she could study history a bit more to provide more stories in the tour.
It would have been cheaper and faster for me to rent a car and drive around than to take this tour.
The tour guide/driver was excellent, very informative, very nice and interesting. The admin staff at the office were horrible. I had booked via Viator and was told to email or call a number to confirm. I emailed and NEVER received a response. I called and talked to someone to confirm the date and my name.
About 15 minutes after I was supposed to be picked up, I called the office and received the first of many lies. I was told there was traffic and they should be there within 10 minutes. When I called again, the 2nd lie I received was they went to the wrong hotel. Another 10 minutes passed after I called another time and was put on hold multiple times. The bus driver picked me up and told me he had just been told I was waiting. I wasn't on his list to be picked up, and he just found out. When I told him the excuses I was given, he agreed that they were just excuses.
Anyway the tour was good. We had our own time at the Alamo. Then we were driven around San Antonio and out to two missions. The excellent tour guide gave us a history about both missions.
This review has nothing to do about the tour guide as he was fantastic! It has everything to do about the state of Texas and the City of San Antonio. Why on earth was the Alamo and the Missions not preserved? These attractions are a joke. Selling bricks for 10? Wow!
Don't waste your money on this one. Love Viator and will continue to use them, but they are not necessary in San Antonio. You can easily do these stops on a hoho bus. But, regardless, the tour guide was very confusing - multiple times didn't know what he wanted us to do (follow him or be on own).
Mary Jane D USA
The first hour and a half was on our own at the Alamo prior to meeting the guide. The missions were free and the market as well. We could have done them as well on our own. We thought this would be more an overview of the San Antonio area. Not worth the money paid for 1 12 hour bus ride. We left the tour at the market.

Three Elected To Baseball Hall Of FameConnecticut's Jeff Bagwell led voting.Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds fall short again
2017 Should-Be Hall of FamersHere is who should be immortalized in Cooperstown this year.
MLB Players And Owners Agree On Labor ContractVerbal agreement reached on a 5 year deal as deadline approached
Trout Reels In A.L. MVPRed Sox Mookie Betts finishes second. Kris bryant of the Cubs is the N.L.MVP
5 Best MLB Free AgentsWe've already had a few signings-- including the ageless Bartolo Colon leaving the Mets to stay in the NL East and join the Braves-- but he doesn't crack our list of the top free agents available this winter.
Never Give Up In Fantasy Baseball, Even If It Seems Hopeless With Five Weeks LeftDepending on your fantasy baseball league's structure, there's either one week to go before the head-to-head playoffs begin or five weeks to go to the end of the Rotisserie season. Regardless, you should never give up on your fantasy team, no matter what place it occupies in the league standings. Since other owners will give up, you can use that to your advantage in order to finish as high as possible. Your roster just may end up surprising you in the end.
Audit Shows Hartford Has Invested $102 Million In DoNo, BallparkThe city of Hartford's investment in the Downtown North development, which is anchored by the new Dunkin' Donuts ballpark in Hartford, is reportedly $102 million, according to an internal audit.
If Your Fantasy Baseball League Has A Trade Deadline, Act Fast To Make A MoveThere's still enough time left in the season to make a trade right now and have it work well for you down the stretch. Study those last-place teams with owners you know well and make them an offer they cannot refuse.
Reliable And Steady Fantasy Baseball Players Are Better Than Risky Rookies Right NowAs Major League Baseball teams approach the final 45 games of the season, almost all of them are giving playing time to rookies right now. It's always a risk to go with a rookie if your fantasy baseball team is challenging for the league championship in mid-August. While you may strike gold with a rookie, more often than not you're going to strike out with a first-year player. It's better instead to acquire non-flashy veteran players for the stretch drive, because wise fantasy baseball owners know they are reliable options.
Fresh New Faces Join Veterans In New Fantasy Baseball Roles Every AugustOnce the dust from the Major League Baseball trade deadline settles, it's easy for fantasy baseball team owners to find new players that improve the roster. Some of these accidental fantasy studs are fresh faces to the MLB circuit, while others are veterans making comebacks or players that have been on the bench biding their time. Regardless, the key is to find those players quickly and get them into your starting lineup fast enough to make a difference in the final weeks of the fantasy season.
The Stretch Drive Has Begun For Fantasy Baseball OwnersWith just two months left in the Major League Baseball season, time is running out for fantasy baseball owners to make a serious move in the league standings. Small roster tweaks may not do it at this point, so always be on the lookout for shooting stars and streaking players in the MLB skyline.
8 Best MLB Players Not in the Hall of FameThe list of players on the doorsteps to the Hall are an impressive list. Among those who are either eligible now or was eligible in the past (in other words, no Derek Jeter or any other recent retirees), here are the best of the best without a plaque in Cooperstown.

Wow, you've definitely perfected the imagery. I could see every little detail, which is impressive, even though in this case it's a little frightening.
The only tip I can possibly think of is perhaps more sentence structure variety? Your vocabulary is fantastic, so reading this isn't boring, but the English teacher within me wants to see more compound sentences and semicolons. Try combining a few sentences into one, maybe using a little parallel structure or something.
It's just a personal preference, though. So feel free to ignore me. :)
Either way, this is still an extremely well-written piece, and very powerful for something so short. I just hope I never meet that dragon. :P

I think that the chicory and Queen Anne's lace that edges our roads
in the summer time is really beautiful. Unfortunately there seems to
be less and less of it. I wonder if the chemical they now use on roads
instead of salt has an adverse effect. I know both were considered to
be fairly salt tolerant. I used to love to see Dame's Rocket along the
roads upstate, and collected seeds to plant in my garden. I have lots
of it in the spring, but don't see it along the roadsides any more. I
think that is a real loss.

A start to proper testing
During all the commotion last week surrounding the release of a new Ashes of the Singularity DX12 benchmark, Microsoft's launching of the Gears of War Ultimate Edition on the Windows Store and the company's supposed desire to merge Xbox and PC gaming, a constant source of insight for me was one Andrew Lauritzen. Andrew is a graphics guru at Intel and has extensive knowledge of DirectX, rendering, engines, etc. and has always been willing to teach and educate me on areas that crop up. The entire DirectX 12 and Unified Windows Platform was definitely one such instance.
Yesterday morning Andrew pointed me to a GitHub release for a tool called PresentMon, a small sample of code written by a colleague of Andrew's that might be the beginnings of being able to properly monitor performance of DX12 games and even UWP games.
The idea is simple and it's implementation even more simple: PresentMon monitors the Windows event tracing stack for present commands and records data about them to a CSV file. Anyone familiar with the kind of ETW data you can gather will appreciate that PresentMon culls out nearly all of the headache of data gathering by simplifying the results into application name/ID, Present call deltas and a bit more.
Gears of War Ultimate Edition - the debated UWP version
The "Present" method in Windows is what produces a frame and shows it to the user. PresentMon looks at the Windows events running through the system, takes note of when those present commands are received by the OS for any given application, and records the time between them. Because this tool runs at the OS level, it can capture Present data from all kinds of APIs including DX12, DX11, OpenGL, Vulkan and more. It does have limitations though - it is read only so producing an overlay on the game/application being tested isn't possible today. (Or maybe ever in the case of UWP games.)
What PresentMon offers us at this stage is an early look at a Fraps-like performance monitoring tool. In the same way that Fraps was looking for Present commands from Windows and recording them, PresentMon does the same thing, at a very similar point in the rendering pipeline as well. What is important and unique about PresentMon is that it is API independent and useful for all types of games and programs.
PresentMon at work
The first and obvious question for our readers is how this performance monitoring tool compares with Frame Rating, our FCAT-based capture benchmarking platform we have used on GPUs and CPUs for years now. To be honest, it's not the same and should not be considered an analog to it. Frame Rating and capture-based testing looks for smoothness, dropped frames and performance at the display, while Fraps and PresentMon look at performance closer to the OS level, before the graphics driver really gets the final say in things. I am still targeting for universal DX12 Frame Rating testing with exclusive full screen capable applications and expect that to be ready sooner rather than later. However, what PresentMon does give us is at least an early universal look at DX12 performance including games that are locked behind the Windows Store rules.
BF4 Integrates FCAT Overlay Support
Back in September AMD publicly announced Mantle, a new lower level API meant to offer more performance for gamers and more control for developers fed up with the restrictions of DirectX. Without diving too much into the politics of the release, the fact that Battlefield 4 developer DICE was integrating Mantle into the Frostbite engine for Battlefield was a huge proof point for the technology. Even though the release was a bit later than AMD had promised us, coming at the end of January 2014, one of the biggest PC games on the market today had integrated a proprietary AMD API.
When I did my first performance preview of BF4 with Mantle on February 1st, the results were mixed but we had other issues to deal with. First and foremost, our primary graphics testing methodology, called Frame Rating, wasn't able to be integrated due to the change of API. Instead we were forced to use an in-game frame rate counter built by DICE which worked fine, but didn't give us the fine grain data we really wanted to put the platform to the test. It worked, but we wanted more. Today we are happy to announce we have full support for our Frame Rating and FCAT testing with BF4 running under Mantle.
A History of Frame Rating
In late 2012 and throughout 2013, testing graphics cards became a much more complicated beast. Terms like frame pacing, stutter, jitter and runts were not in the vocabulary of most enthusiasts but became an important part of the story just about one year ago. Though complicated to fully explain, the basics are pretty simple.
Rather than using software on the machine being tested to measure performance, our Frame Rating system uses a combination of local software and external capture hardware. On the local system with the hardware being evaluated we run a small piece of software called an overlay that draws small colored bars on the left hand side of the game screen that change successively with each frame rendered by the game. Using a secondary system, we capture the output from the graphics card directly, intercepting it from the display output, in real-time in an uncompressed form. With that video file captured, we then analyze it frame by frame, measuring the length of each of those colored bars, how long they are on the screen, how consistently they are displayed. This allows us to find the average frame rate but also to find how smoothly the frames are presented, if there are dropped frames and if there are jitter or stutter issues.

Frame Rating: AMD plans driver release to address frame pacing for July 31st
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 20, 2013 - 08:05 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: radeon, nvidia, geforce, frame rating, fcat, crossfire, amd
Well, the date has been set. AMD publicly stated on its @AMDRadeon Twitter account that a new version the prototype driver we originally previewed with the release of the Radeon HD 7990 in April will be released to the public on July 31st. For a problem that many in the industry didn't think existed.
Big news for CrossFire! We plan to release our driver that delivers improved multi-GPU frame pacing on July 31. More info soon.
— AMD Radeon Graphics (@AMDRadeon) June 20, 2013
Since that April release AMD has been very quiet about its driver changes and actually has refused to send me updated prototypes over the spring. Either they have it figured out or they are worried they haven't - but it looks like we'll find out at the end of next month and I feel pretty confident that the team will be able to address the issues we brought to light.
For those of you that might have missed the discussion, our series of Frame Rating stories will tell you all about the issues with frame pacing and stutter in regards to AMD's CrossFire multi-GPU technology.
- Frame Rating Dissected: Full Details on Capture-based Graphics Performance Testing
- Frame Rating: Visual Effects of Vsync on Gaming Animation
- Frame Rating: AMD Improves CrossFire with Prototype Driver
AMD gave the media a prototype driver in April to test with the Radeon HD 7990, a card that depends on CrossFire to work correctly, and the improvements were pretty drastic.
So what can we expect on July 31st? A driver that will give users the option to disable or enable the frame pacing technology they are developing - though I am still of the mindset that disabling is never advantageous. More to come in the next 30 days!

Update: Did you miss the live stream? Watch the on-demand replay below and learn all about the Frame Rating system, FCAT, input latency and more!!
I know, based solely on the amount of traffic and forum discussion, that our readers have really adopted and accepted our Frame Rating graphics testing methodology. Based on direct capture of GPU output via an external system and a high end capture card, our new systems have helped users see GPU performance a in more "real-world" light that previous benchmarks would not allow.
I also know that there are lots of questions about the process, the technology and the results we have shown. In order to try and address these questions and to facilitate new ideas from the community, we are hosting a PC Perspective Live Stream on Thursday afternoon.
Joining me will be NVIDIA's Tom Petersen, a favorite of the community, to talk about NVIDIA's stance on FCAT and Frame Rating, as well as just talk about the science of animation and input.
The primary part of this live stream will be about education - not about bashing one particular product line or talking up another. And part of that education is your ability to interact with us live, ask questions and give feedback. During the stream we'll be monitoring the chat room embedded on http://pcper.com/live and I'll be watching my Twitter feed for questions from the audience. The easiest way to get your question addressed though will be to leave a comment or inquiry here in this post below. It doesn't require registration and this will allow us to think about the questions before hand, giving it a better chance of being answered during the stream.

Right, but that's no excuse for creating more of these situations, especially one as egregious as introducing an infix operator that _looks_ like it should work with arbitrary operands but doesn't. That's like offering a desk calculator with a + button that only adds even numbers. Lets not lose sight of something: the query parser is a peripheral element of lucene; it converts text representation of queries into the internal representation. No one _has_ to use it. Its supposed to be a convenient first-order approximation that is good enough for most applications. > In my user documentation We can't assume every end user will have access to good documentation, or any for that matter. The Yahoo serach engine has a doc page, but few users ever look at it. Having NEAR as an infix operator is simply confusing.

I agree > that it is difficult to solve the general case, but for a limited case, I > think this would be valuable to users. It IS valuable. But lets add it in way such that its not confusing. Since the slop is tied to the phrasequery mechanism, lets think about syntax that operates only on that. Ideas: "foo bar"(3) "foo bar"[3] "foo bar"~3 The latter makes some sense as the ~ already indicates fuzzy, and slop is a similar concept to fuzzy (searching for an approximate match.) I can make the latter work pretty easily, too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com>

Good Points
Very good value for money - well made and good quality. Very nice flame effect and the fire itself looks great. I definitely recommend it.
Bad Points
General Comments
I was genuinely surprised at the quality of the Dimplex CHT20 for the money.
I have found that some flame effects on electric fires can be irritatingly noisy, but this one is virtually silent in operation, and quite impressive! I am an engineer, and having had a good look at the fire, I am very impressed with the overall design. The fan heater in the top canopy also works well.
This fire puts some others at the same price to shame.

Long‐run Relationships Between World Vegetable Oil Prices
In the international edible oil markets, there is believed to be high substitutability between vegetable oils and fats produced under different conditions. In light of this, we consider the question: what is the nature of the long‐run relationships between vegetable oil prices? Long‐run co‐movements among oil prices are analysed, based on a multivariate cointegration model. The empirical finding is that most co‐movements are consistent with the predictions of market theory. Prices of oils tend to be grouped according to their different end‐uses. Some policy implications of a buffer stock scheme are discussed.

HSBC Exits Retail Broking, Depository Services in IndiaEleni Himaras and Anto Antony
HSBC Holdings Plc, Europe's biggest lender, is closing the unit that offers retail broking and depository services in India as the bank focuses on expanding faster-growing operations.
The U.K. lender won't open any new broking accounts and will notify existing clients of the closing date for its HSBC InvestDirect Securities India Ltd. unit, HSBC said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. It will still offer retail banking and wealth management, commercial banking, investment banking and capital markets, institutional broking, asset management and insurance services in India.
"The closing down of the retail brokerage operations will help HSBC to free up capital which will be deployed in other growing businesses," Gareth Hewett, a Hong Kong-based spokesman for the company, said by phone. "The group's strategy is to invest in faster-growing businesses including wealth management and trade financing."
The lender is retreating from some markets as Chief Executive Officer Stuart Gulliver seeks to increase profitability. HSBC completed the sale of its U.S. credit card unit to Capital One Financial Corp. in May 2012 and sold its stake in China's Ping An Insurance Group Co. in February.
Shares of HSBC gained 0.5 percent to HK$84.50 in Hong Kong as of the noon trading break. The city's benchmark Hang Seng Index rose 0.6 percent.
Job Cuts
Hewett said 300 employees will be affected by the Indian closing, without specifying how many job cuts there will be. He declined to give a time frame for winding down the operations and to disclose Indian brokerage revenue.
HSBC has 50 outlets in India across 29 cities, according to Vinh Tran, a Hong Kong-based spokeswoman of HSBC. The London-based lender currently has about 30,000 employees in the South Asian country.
The U.K. bank paid $296 million in 2008 for control of brokerage IL&FS Investsmart Ltd., which it renamed HSBC InvestDirect India Ltd.
HSBC's presence in India dates back to 1853. India and mainland China are among the lender's priority markets where it expects future growth opportunities to be concentrated, according to the bank's latest annual report. HSBC generated $809 million pretax profit from India last year, compared with $813 million a year earlier, the report shows.

A man just shot fifteen people in this cafe and I had to watch them die.
The only two people he hasn't killed are my son and I.
He says he only has one bullet left and he's aiming his gun at my son's head.
Somehow I'm going to have to convince him to spare my boy and shoot me instead.
I'm begging him to shoot me with his gun.
But he says that he'd rather kill my son.
I just called him a son of a bitch and he just shot me in the chest.
I'm about to die but my son will live and that means I've been blessed.
My son just put his arms around me, it's the last time we'll be able to embrace.
Very soon I'll be gone, gone to a better place.

SAN AUGUSTINE, Texas -- Police closed the southbound lanes of the main roads around 10 p.m. Thursday, opening everything to a northward flow from Houston, Beaumont and Port Arthur.
No sooner had evacuees reached Lufkin than lines stretched out of gas station lots and onto the berm of Route 69, with hundreds of starving cars, trucks and SUVs looking for a last fill-up.
"I only need enough to get to Oklahoma City," a young mother told me. Her two small boys rolled somersaults in the back of her Ford Expedition. Her husband was somewhere farther down the highway, bringing the rest of what they needed to flee Lake Charles, La., just across the state line and, like Port Arthur, in the path of Hurricane Rita.
Lufkin police arrived and a patrolman barked orders.
"Get out of line. We're not blocking traffic for gasoline." Dozens of cars were ordered away -- to where it was unclear. Without gasoline, they risk the fate of scores of evacuees from Houston who stalled on Interstates 10 and 45 when a 100-mile traffic jam froze the evacuation in place, and idling engines ran their tanks dry.
The line of headlights pointing north continued through Thursday night and into Friday morning, when the forward winds of the storm reached the Gulf Coast.
Thirty miles into our detour, we found an open store. Rodney and Andrea Crutcher were still open for business, and a small cluster of evacuees were pumping them dry. Port Arthur had begun to empty.
Rebecca Smalley packed her 5-year-old daughter, Wes, and her other important possessions into her white GMC Envoy and drove north from the winds.
"Photos," she said, beginning an inventory. "Photos and clothes. Memorabilia. Beer."
Her fiance, Rabon Ezell, was following in a black 4x4 pickup truck that was pulling his ATV.
"I have a home, and it's going to be destroyed," Smalley said. Wes poked her head up from the back seat.
"In the morning it's gonna be broken," she chirped.
Smalley works as a probation officer, and Ezell works at a rubber plant owned by Pittsburgh-based Lanxess. He's not sure what work will be waiting for him after the big blow. She figures Rita won't blow away crime, "especially with all the New Orleans people coming in now," so there will be something on which to rebuild, but she is firmly convinced that, come Sunday, whatever home she has will resemble Noah's Ark.
"They're saying the gulf is going to reach up to I-10 and I live on I-10," Smalley said.
"Watch me whistle," Wes said. Then she whistled.
A small panic broke out. The Crutchers' pumps stopped dispensing gasoline. Ezell had paid for $40 worth of regular and the pump clicked off at $4.38.
"OK, we're out of regular," Rodney Crutcher announced. Motorists out front switched to premium, which was selling for $2.68 a gallon.
I asked the Crutchers why they hadn't raised their prices to match demand.
"We have friends in this community," Andrea Crutcher said.
"You don't do that to people," Rodney chipped in.
They expected their supply to be gone by morning and hoped for one more delivery, though whether anyone can get it to them is a question. Tractor-trailers run on diesel, and nobody has been able to get that anywhere around here.
"It's all the buses they're running for evacuations," Andrea Crutcher explained.
Ten miles down the road, police had set up another blockade. Route 96 was now closed southbound and evacuees were being poured through San Augustine. The Crutchers' pumps would be dry before dawn.

Regarding your Vintage Thymes tour – just wanted to let you know that you actually visited the store called ReMARKable Cleanouts and took pictures of our things on that day and not Gallery 2. We would love for you to come back to visit our first floor as well as the second and to take a look into the Gallery 2 store as there are some wonderful things in there. The G2 is actually located inside out second floor so it can be very confusing. Just thought you would like to know. Thank You

In this opinion, Chancellor Strine analyzed whether a controlling stockholder, who received the same merger consideration as all other stockholders, had breached his fiduciary duties by refusing to consider an alternate offer that would have cashed out other stockholders but required the controlling stockholder to remain as an investor in the privately-held surviving company. The board of directors (the "Board") of Synthes, Inc. ("Synthes" or the "Company") engaged in a process to solicit bids from potential strategic and financial buyers, which lasted for two years and produced two premium offers, one of which resulted in an executed merger agreement providing for a merger in which all of the stockholders of Synthes would be entitled to receive a mix of consideration consisting of 65% stock and 35% cash. Because the controlling stockholder received the same treatment as other stockholders and the Board engaged in extended negotiations that resulted in a substantial premium, the Chancellor granted the defendant directors' motion to dismiss with prejudice plaintiff-stockholders' claims that they breached their fiduciary duties.
The Board was composed of ten directors, including chairman, founder, and former CEO Hansjoerg Wyss, five directors who Wyss allegedly controlled by familial and business relationships, and four independent directors, all of whom are named defendants in this litigation. Wyss owned 38.5% of the Company's stock, and purportedly controlled approximately 52% of the Company's stock through his control of shares owned by family and trusts. The plaintiffs alleged that Wyss was well-past retirement age and was interested in liquidity. Because of Synthes' thin public float and the fact that a piecemeal sale of shares would result in a drop in the stock price, Wyss would need to sell his holdings to a single buyer. As part of an ongoing review of strategic alternatives, Synthes decided to explore the idea of finding a potential buyer in 2010 and engaged Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC ("Credit Suisse") as its financial advisor. Although Wyss supported the decision to explore a sale transaction, the plaintiffs did not allege that it was his idea in the first instance.
In September 2010, the Board contacted nine logical strategic buyers with the capacity to acquire Synthes, which then had a market capitalization of greater than $15 billion. Four of these potential buyers expressed preliminary interest, of which one declined to proceed and three entered into confidentiality agreements. Of these three parties, only Johnson & Johnson ("J&J") expressed interest in pursuing a deal after reviewing preliminary due diligence material. In November 2010, while continuing negotiations with J&J, the Board authorized Credit Suisse to contact potential financial buyers. Of the six private equity firms that Credit Suisse contacted, four entered into confidentiality agreements and three submitted non-binding proposals to acquire the Company. When these three firms indicated that none could independently acquire Synthes, the Board permitted them to form a consortium (the "PE Club") for bidding purposes.
In December 2010, J&J submitted a non-binding offer of 145-150 Swiss Francs ("CHF") per share, to be paid in cash and J&J stock. In February 2011, the PE Club submitted a bid for CHF 151 per share in cash that would also require Wyss to convert a substantial portion of his shares into equity of the post-merger company. The PE Club indicated that it could not increase its proposal above CHF 151 per share. The Board then met to compare the proposals, determining that the PE Club's bid entailed greater value certainty because it was in all cash and greater closing risk because it depended on the health of the financing markets. Wyss opposed the PE Club's bid, which the Board then declined to pursue, because he wanted to cash out his shares along with the other stockholders. After the Board told J&J that it would not consider any offer below CHF 160 per share, J&J increased its offer to CHF 155 but stated that it could further increase its offer pending the outcome of additional due diligence.
The parties negotiated the terms of a merger agreement until April 2011, and J&J increased its offer to CHF 159 per share to be paid in 65% stock (subject to a collar) and 35% cash. The Chancellor noted that the plaintiffs did not allege that Wyss attempted to negotiate for a higher price for his shares. In the merger agreement, J&J obtained five deal protections: (1) a voting agreement with Wyss, his daughter who was a director, and two family trusts with respect to 37% of the Company's stock (with such percentage reduced to 33% if the Board changed its recommendation in response to a superior proposal), (2) a no-solicitation with a fiduciary out to consider a superior proposal, (3) agreement to hold a stockholder vote regardless of whether the Board exercised its fiduciary out or changed its recommendation, (4) matching rights in the event of a superior proposal, and (5) a $650 million termination fee which represented approximately 3.05% of equity value and approximately 2.9% of enterprise value (which the Court noted was the more relevant measure for assessing the preclusive effect of a termination fee on a materially better topping bid). During this time neither the PE Club, nor any other bidder, expressed interest in submitting a better bid for Synthes. Credit Suisse then opined that the merger was fair to the Synthes stockholders, the Board approved the merger agreement and recommended that the stockholders vote in favor of it, the parties executed the merger agreement with an implied value of $21.3 billion (26% premium to the average trading price during the preceding month), the Synthes stockholders voted to approve the merger, and in June 2012 the merger closed. No other party emerged to make a better offer before closing.
The plaintiffs alleged, in their second amended complaint, that (1) entire fairness should apply because the merger was a conflicted transaction given the financial motives of Wyss, as the purported controlling stockholder, to seek liquidity, (2) the merger was subject to Revlon enhanced scrutiny because the merger was an "end stage" transaction representing the last opportunity for the Synthes stockholders to receive a control premium for their shares, and (3) the directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to unreasonable deal protections that precluded more attractive bids. The defendants moved to dismiss the complaint, arguing that Wyss received the same consideration as other stockholders and was ideally suited to bargain on behalf of all stockholders, Revlon did not apply because there was no change of control, and the Board engaged in lengthy, open negotiations that resulted in greater value and standard deal protections.
The Chancellor disagreed with the plaintiffs' first argument, which claimed that Wyss had cost other stockholders a better deal because he was in a rush to liquidate his investment. The Chancellor found that the Board had initiated a process to patiently solicit and evaluate offers, Wyss was not in any particular rush to attain liquidity, and that Wyss's decision to accept pro rata treatment should afford him safe harbor protection. If the Chancellor did not apply business judgment, the Chancellor inferred that controlling stockholders would have no incentive to align their interests with other stockholders. Although recognizing that there may be very narrow circumstances in which a controlling stockholder's immediate need for liquidity could constitute a disabling conflict of interest, the Court found that the complaint was devoid of those allegations. The Chancellor further observed that plaintiffs had the same interest as Wyss in seeking liquidity. As for the plaintiffs' argument that Wyss and the Board had a duty to pursue the PE Club's all-cash offer because it provided better terms for the other stockholders, the Chancellor noted that Delaware law prevents a controlling stockholder from gaining unfair advantage at the expense of the minority, but does not impose a duty of self-sacrifice for the benefit of those other stockholders. Finally, the plaintiffs argued that Wyss and the Board foreclosed the PE Club from submitting a better offer. The Chancellor found that no facts supported the inference that the PE Club, despite having indicated that it could not increase its bid, would have made an offer involving terms equally favorable to Wyss and the other stockholders. The Chancellor also rejected the related argument that the Board should not have ceased to communicate with the PE Club because it could have either elicited a better bid or prompted J&J to increase its bid. For all of these reasons, the Chancellor held that the entire fairness standard of review did not apply to these actions.
The Chancellor also rejected the plaintiffs' assertions that Revlon and Unocal required application of enhanced scrutiny. As an initial matter, the Court noted that the stockholders were moving from a company controlled by Wyss to a company without a controlling stockholder. In addition, the Court found that the transaction does not qualify as a change of control under the Supreme Court's decision in Santa Fe because of the mix of consideration and the fact that the 65% stock component of the consideration will be held in a large, fluid market. The Chancellor further noted that, even if Revlon were applicable, the plaintiffs had not pleaded facts to support a viable claim.
Similarly, the Chancellor held that the plaintiffs had not pleaded facts supporting an inference that the deal protections unreasonably precluded a topping bidder.
