Via Long Investment Ideas from Seeking Alpha:

GA and 9you both deny these reports. 9you published a formal announcement that it has no plans whatsoever to merge with another company. GA closed at $9.00 Wednesday, down 10%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.63% and the NASDAQ rose 0.44%. $9.00$ is the all-time closing low for GA.
