Seems to me they are making their own decision to call him for information, not Charles calling them to "sway" the vote. Phone numbers are in the company's PR's for anyone who chooses to make the call. Yes, more information should have been in the 8-K to the shareholders.
I'm investing/trading over 30 years now. I've been in and out of hundreds stocks. And all that time I have never met such a moral bankruptcy in management, and never such high caliber snake oil selling touts.
