If a block was sold in several small lots in this case, what would be the consequence of doing that? Could T Rowe do that instead of selling the block entirely to Goldman? No. T Rowe cannot do that because their demand of selling Avantek is urgent. Yes. T Rowe can do that because breaking the order into smaller lots and perhaps trade with both Goldman and Kidder can lower the total transaction costs. 10 points At the T.
