If you're being acquired, you're walking away. You should understand that the company as you know it is already dead. The goal becomes to make it to the walkaway date with as little trouble as possible. To continue to manage "your baby" post acquisition is futile. Hence, even managed quarterly, public co. is a better option for you.
