RE: Brookfield The Offer will be open until January 28, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. EST. The Offer will be subject to acceptance by Shareholders independent of Brookfield Renewable owning more than 50% of the Common Shares outstanding and other offer conditions customary in the circumstances. The Offer will be structured as a "Permitted Bid" under Western Wind's Shareholder Rights Agreement.
1. Brookfield has already disclosed that they own more than 10% of the company, therefore complying the securities exchange commission regularity.
2. Your question...and the answer is in the information circular above.
If Brookfield acquires 50% of the float in the open market, your vote means squat.
Jeff may want to move on the sale. GL.
