An independent auditor counts the vote, however he only reports those validily deposited and not the conditions they were deposited under.

For instance, I could validly deposit my shares to the Kinross offer in a soft lock up agreement. ( The condition, for allowing Kinross to take them up as tendered shares, will be when ungulates can fly )

Hahahahahahahahaha.

It does not matter how many shares Kinross says have been validily deposited if you do not know the conditions attached in order for them to be taken up by Kinross.

In my opinion this is why they differentiate between validily deposited and tendered in their press release.

Relax, do not make an emotional decision, think logically and you should come to the correct conclusion
