Bidrite, do you know how much proxy vote lead time needs to be provided? That Delaware Chancery hearing had only about two weeks from first announcement, which I considered short notice considering how I didn't receive my snail mail copy until just days before. Conversely, how much (maximum) delay between announcement and the actual meeting date is allowed (30 days, 60 or ?)?
Regarding Nov 13, if that date carries standing for when it can be timely for bringing suit before the Delaware Chancery Court (as suggested by posters here) it seems that PPHM announcing the ASM and BOD vote by NOV 13 is important for the current management team. If a shareholders meeting has been announced, it is not likely the DC action will be needed beyond hedging against the risk of management deciding to further delay the date after announcing.
Best wishes and IMO.
