RE: Shareholders Rights Plan...Most news can be percieved either way as you can tell from this board. One view would look at it and say Charles is a scammer trying to inflate his stock and stop the plummet so he tries to pretend he is warding off takeover bids. The other view would be that he is actually trying to look out for the interests of his shareholders and is securing some rights.
All in all it is a neutral news release.
