Agree and one can only hope that this proposed action by B of D and management is indeed totally above board.

I'd find it awfully stupid for anyone to try and pull a fast one especially people with so much to lose if the security regulatory agency finds out. The penalties that can be assessed are pretty horrific, like being banned from management in any publicly traded company, banned from trading etc..

To me the risks involved in funny business totally outweigh any possible benefit but then greedy stupid people exist. All I want is there to be a review by outsider before allowing proposal to proceed.

It isn't fair to flat out say 'retail' investors are being taken advantage of because we don't know the 'facts'. We can say that we have concerns and want them addressed by someone.
