BDAZ - As I said in the previous post Hepa took more than 10% of the company equity, 12.68% but when the effects of the warrants attached were included it came in around 13.5%. Thanks for posting the link. In that case the vote may have been required because of Eastern as well as their total holdings after taking warrants into consideration would be just under 25% of the company.
Again, it's more about deal structure and not because of the regional part of the deal.
