Ask him how he came up with that price, see if he is able to make sense of it mathematically somehow, intuition is often wrong on pricing. Explain that a company with less owners (and thus less conflict of interest) is more valuable and less risky. Also a peaceful board is more valuable than a board backstabbing each other. If the CEO doesn't value these things then I am sure other investors will value it. You should be clear that he is stealing your cut of the value from risk reduction. Also, think if the CEO somehow has more information than you do. If he has more information and is buying, you should consider keeping the stock until relevant valuation info is shared. Of course this could be wrong too, depends on the non-money terms the other investor got.
