RIM graciously extends Certicom offer to January 15th

Certicom recently put an ad in the paper to inform all shareholder to reject the offer from RIM… however, the BlackBerry maker has announced they are extending the expiry date of its offer to acquire Certicom for $1.50 per share in cash per share to January 27th, 2009. The previous deadline was January 15th, 2009. Very gracious of them during this hostile takeover bid.
