I've wondered how that works too. I'd imagine you'd need a "firm offer" equivalent of cash-on-the-barrel from a third-party for your company shares, a non-further-negotiatable-contract-for-stock-purchase-with-lawyers involved. Then the lawyers would take that to your company, and if the company buys at the negotiated price the third-party loses, and if the company passes on it then the third-party gets the shares. You'd get the cash either way.
