RE: withheld shares Rocketred, I was always under the impression that if you actually indicate on the proxy that you want to withhold votes for the current slate of directors, that you are in effect abstaining from voting your shares period....however, if you don't return the proxy at all, then you are giving your votes to management. In that scenario, if the Greens have 35% support, the Blues could technically lose if they get 34% support and 31% are withheld. Most cases I've seen where votes are withheld never amount to more than a 2-3% swing anyway. Either way, I don't think the Greens are even close to winning this. If all withheld votes automatically go to management like you suggested, it's over and done....and if not, nearly a third of the proxies would have to come back with withheld votes for this to be close.
