RE:RE:RE:Vote date is carefully planned Scenario #1 - Insiders purchase shares because they think the share price is a good deal, whether you end up with cash, shares or combination of both post-acquisition.
Scenario #2 - Insiders purchase shares to ensure they have the votes for the acquisition to go though but it is actually only these two particular insiders who are willing to risk their money and somehow these two insiders know 433,000 shares is sufficient for the deal to go through even though 433,000 shares represent only 0.17% of the total float.
Hmmm. Such a tough decision but I think I will stick with Scenario #1.
