RE: RE: JEC I am not sure if legally a pending/forced meeting can stop the company from proceeding with a signficant acquisition, but just that fact this is all out in the open can have 2 effects: 1) have potential acquisitions select other bids as they worry if Ithaca would be able to complete an acquisition given the potential conflict and 2) cause potential acquisitions to ask for a higher price seeing Ithaca as under pressure to get a deal done.....JEC has a script in mind and will proceed to each step, I agree the next step is waiting the three weeks then announcing a meeting date, Ithaca wants this process to be as slow as possible so watch for them to act only at the last minute.....has anyone contact JEC to inquire if they have spoken with potential bidders? The end of their NRs list a name and number, anyone phone it yet to see if JEC will reveal their next move?
