While negotiating a possible buyout with the management of a firm, the CEO of the target starts to play hardball. He continues to add contingencies to the deal. In addition, he has recently raised the issue of a golden parachute for himself if he can convince the largest shareholder to agree to the deal. The CFO of the target pulls you aside and indicates that he can persuade the largest shareholder to sell and that he can do it for much less than the CEO is asking for in his golden parachute.

What should you do?
