RE:RE:Regulatory Approval of Midstream Sale
RE:RE:Regulatory Approval of Midstream Sale All moot point right now. Soon hse market cap would worth the price received for selling 65% midestream.
Since you don't like my analogy here is a real situation. Take IPL for example, it was later learned (not from IPL management) that in August 2019, LKS made a $30 offer to buy IPL. IPL shot up to $25's but now it is trading at $5's. IPL management turned down the takeover offer without any vote at all, nor disclosing the bidder entity. We don't see IPL shareholders suing IPL for not putting LKS's $30 bid to a vote, IPL example is way more significant than hse selling a small piece of asset to LKS without a vote.

It requires voting by minority shareholders and minority approval is given when a simple majority of the minority shareholders approve the transaction tabled by the Board in a special shareholder meeting.
Did you vote for the transaction? Did the company get a minority approval in compliance with MI 61-101? Did you see the regulatory approval? Which regulator gave the approval? Go figure!
