I certainly approve of buying assets at a discount. As has been suggested previously marking the tender price as a % reduction from backing would be preferable given price volatility.
The fact that no terms are attached to the developer grant points to it being an incentive for the devs to ensure the deal goes through. I'm not against paying a price if we still come out with discounted assets, but I think Olympus should be more targeted and transparent here and actually state what it wants.
From my understanding: we want to persuade the devs who a) have skills we want in Olympus and b) control the treasury of the protocol. So lets put a list together of who they are and make them an offer.
Using language like 'developer grant' and 'tender offer' is very nice and 3,3 but lets be real. This is a takeover. We need to persuade key players to cooperate. If ohmies view the grant as a price to gain substantial discounted assets, I think there will much less resistance. Then its up to SPA devs + holders whether they want to do it.
