Some thoughts in the MMGS bullshit. (If it's real and not a ploy)
There's legit concern that they have insto backing, particularly the rather large chinese insto's on AVZ's register.
Though they're far from 50% of shareholders, it appears if people don't vote then they're counted as abstaining.
I take this to mean if there are 10 shareholders, but only 2 votes yes, 1 votes no, and 7 dont vote, then it's counted as a pass for the yes motion because it outweighs the no votes.
That is opposed to viewing the yes vote as only 20% of shareholders and therefore not passing.
Correct me if I'm wrong about that.
So taking that into consideration, and knowing AVZ's share register has an unusually large portion of retail holders...
How many retail do you think actually vote on motions? My guess is not very many, it's probably bottom draw stocks for many, barely aware of what's going on.
And that means if they have insto backing, their yes votes hold a hell of a lot more power that it first appears.
However, them seeking this mass mailout to sell themselves to retail means they likely do not have the support they need.
And It may even go against them.
It might alert the not so alert holders to the situation, and if they decide to ask around or look on twitter, they'll quickly realise the treachery that is at work, and might then be motivated to actively vote against the motion, where by they otherwise may not have voted at all.
I also believe our management will do a similar mass mailout in response to give their side of the story. They should be easily exposed.
Again prompting retail to vote no where they might not have otherwise.
Anyway, all these musings are just in regards to if they even had a hope in hell of succeeding in the first place, but let's certainly not get complacent here.
VOTE: FUCK NO !
MAKE SURE YOU VOTE !
TELL EVERYONE !
And as eluded to before, there are other moves being made to thwart this attempt so it may not ever get a chance.
