Just spoke with James Carswell:
About three things--
(1) What papers do we need to gain entry to the SH Meeting.
A valid government issue I.D., and a Proxy Statement. I got a strong impression he would let you in even without a Proxy Statement. I asked because my broker sent us an email Proxy, and won't get a hard copy unless I request it. He said to print my online Proxy form and bring it with us.
I asked about voting our shares in person at the Meeting, he told me "only one person voted his shares in person at the last
SH Meeting." Apparently everyone else voted online. Interesting....
(2) No, they have no plans for any tours of their Headquarters around the time of the SH Meeting (Bummer...), though he did say they can be arranged at other times of the year for small groups, or individuals, if his schedule permits.
(3) I mentioned that we are members of the IHUB and RB message boards for CPTC, and I hinted that the "natives were getting restless" about the China deal, and asked directly "Is the China deal still ON???" His answer was "YES"!!! At that, I said Thank You Very Much, and Goodbye. (I didn't bother asking him when news would be coming out on this subject, or any other, because I knew he wasn't going to tell me...)
The good news is: China is still ON!
The bad news is: No tours of CTC HQ during the SH Meeting.
I feel better after talking to Mr. Carswell for the first time. He seems like a good guy. He returned our call in less than an hour.
Have a good weekend y'all, Hopefully we'll have a good week next week...
