Did Liberty get special treatment. They own some common shares as well? Our Shareholder Right's Plan dicates equal treatment. I bet a judge would sway to our side.
This is a non-factor. Net zero difference from a financial perspective. LMM probably doesn't want to trigger a taxable event and its completely impractical to offer retail investors the same option.
In any case the best you could hope for are ICL shares in kind in lieu of cash, which is not what you want anyways.
