Given the current knowledge in the case, I think Eberhart should vote against the deal.
However, there are a few points in favor of the deal. First, personally it will allow him more free time to spend with his family in Palo Alto. In addition, given the timing, the deal would show support of the current CEO Khoo. Finally, the deal could positively impact the cash flows of the company.
Despite these favorable points, there is a lot of concern in taking the deal. The biggest con is that there is no idea who these investors are, their thoughts and desires for the company, and their intentions. Given the previous scare tactics made towards the company, this lack of knowledge is extremely concerning since the investors could be people trying to sabotage the company for competitors benefit. Additionally, the cash problems can be resolved through other means such as operating more efficiently and cutting down existing expenses. Finally, while this could be a good sign of faith in the current CEO if everything goes well, it could also be extremely hard for the new CEO to deal with the potential scam.
Given this information, I think the best option would be to turn down this current offer unless there is certification showing more details on who the investors truly are!
