While the Offer is presently still Open, would an Institution be within their Right to Withdraw their shares?

Not very darn likely they would but ... as we are all aware, stranger things have happened in this nightmare experience.

If so then a Retail Shareholder could also. I read that you could prior to the Expirey by getting a form signed by ?? maybe God. Under the circumstances, the Offer having been extended, hasn't Expired.

Was 'someone' on the SH Board repeatedly reminding them to put their shs in at $20 plus as Kerrisdale did?

Ya did GOOD Kerrisdale. A Big Thank You! I doubt anyone on this Board dared to risk getting both legs broken by tendering! It was because of your continual hounding, that we withheld as many shs as we did. As it turned out, we should have had u email the Fund Mgrs too. NONE of us expected THAT to be necessary.

I wonder which side of the brain they used or which side was dead, to come to the conclusion this was in the best monetary interest of their Fund Holders. Three hours has passed and I still can't speak due to shock.
