I think that the meeting on the 15th is to tighten the screws on the air quality board because they are not violating the law by shutting down a plant whose emissions meet applicable standards. The political pressure is on the side of a citizen-pleasing shutdown, but science says "No way."
A brief, reportable "Event" like a baghouse fire that creates a momentary lapse in compliance is NOT an environmental catastrophe that warrants a permanent shuttering of a multi-million dollar factory. It just creates an impetus for a potential clean-up which is NOT a life and death situation and which, I suspect, Exide is both willing and eager to complete, and for which the cost will be minimal... something along the lines of remediating a leaking gas storage tank in a closed convenience store.
Why do you think you have done more work than anyone else here on this stock? There are many of us that have deep-dived Exide for ages, long before you arrived here.
I said it before. Just don't buy it!
I bought it, and I think it will be in the $$$. If you really thought it had a 3 cent value, I question why you are still here. Anyway, good luck. I hope you move on and find a better investment.
