Around the 17 minute mark is the discussion on LSG. Slide bullets include:

- Hochschild has the right to increase position to 40% by end of 2008

- option to aquire control

HOC are already banking on a yes vote majority. The option to aquire control must be buried in the upcoming vote. Why is management hiding this information? An even stronger no vote is needed more than ever!
