i regretful think this is just hocus-pocusI would love to be wrong. I think they just want to control your votes without actually buying your shares. That's what it looks like. timing of May 10 is super suspicious. One thing that speaks against my supposition is that they are affiliated with a major supplier of sherritt. And I'm sure the company wants to maintain good relations. That's the only thing that adds some legitimacy to this being a bona fide a real offer. Let's see - but i am skeptical they will close on the 21.6 mil shares if tendered.
