He didn't have to do anything,he wanted those shares. The PP was open for all shareholders to participate in and was oversubscribed I'm sure if EE didn't take what he took soneone else would have. Look a majority here thought that this was going to be a quick fast buyout play do to the fact a certain someone  made it sound like it was just around the corner and a done deal but markets changed and things got delayed unfortunately. EE has stuck it out and so will I,no one forced you to hit buy or promised you anything it's up to you if you want to stick it out or call it a day,we are all adults here and this is just an anonymous board with people just posting IMHO messages. This all IMHO!
