FJ: I think you might be onto something here but what is intriguing to me is what possibly could it be that Sheldon feels compelled to "shell" out that kind of cash unnecessarily in order to gain additional voting rights so that he could attempt to influence a vote.....either way. Given the amount of shares he owns or controls (which isn't a small position) he must have some allies?

Or is it a low-ball buyout offer that Management wants to vote down?
