60 million shares, that is more thant 20% of the float... This could be large (and small) investors deciding to settle for the 1,95, and not wait for the 1,98, these being the investors that don't feel this is going to go anywhere else... or any other way. Too bad they are not staying instead to vote this this down. They buyers, of course, coulb well be PD or PD affiliates, those that want the deal to go through...
