Exactly who are you talking about? Manning et al?, Vince? or both parties?
The meeting in Largo was supposed to start at 1pm EST so obviously the PR from the Manning et al board came out before then (10:51EST to be exact). It was also sent from New York rather than FL.
The next question is exactly who the 15 shareholders are that called the special meeting. Manning et al, are probably not amongst those 15.
So we have two boards, apparently each operating with their own followers, issuing their own PR's, maybe issuing their own SEC filings, but definitely stating different directions. At what point does the SEC step in and halt trading?
