Does a 'no' vote derail the access to capital the merger provides to accelerate CZO's plans for significant growth given the many opportunities in Friday's news release. Would it cause delays in CZO's plan? Would it also cause a new round of costs as CZO is forced to re-evaluate its strategic alternatives and potentially find a new merger partner over the next year and go
