to consider the nature of the beast. The beast being the board members of all 3 companies. Board members generally speaking are people who if researched will show they have the ability to get what they want. They were most likely brought onto a publicly trading companie's board because they are good at getting what they want. They are paid handsomely because of this. They mostly do so all while staying within the law, some do not and end up fined or in jail.
In this case they wanted this merger and they most likely will have it, regardless what the NO VOTERS say.
I hold AVF shares and I voted YES and will continue to stand by my yes vote.
The no voters are people who wallow in misery. You know what they say, misery loves company.
