If you are wanting it to go to a poll you need to arrange in advance to have 5% of the vote by way of proxy OR have the required 5 shareholders on side at the meeting, anyone wanting to call for a poll never leaves these things to chance. When the resolution is read and the show of hands called for you can then ask for a poll if the show of hands does not get decided the way you would like. Given the talk here about how many shareholders are unhappy I would not have thought that so difficult. The disclosure of proxies at the beginning of the meeting will tell you how many proxies have been received and how many are yes, no and open - the Chairman will also disclose how he is going to cast the open votes. At that stage you will know whether you have any hope of winning a poll vote.

I will be at the meeting, however I will be abstaining from the vote and letting things settle where they may. I actually agree with the board's decision to sell, but then I know all the board members and one thing I do know is that they are all ethical. You may think them naive, puppets or misguided but they are in no way dishonest.

One complaint I have seen is that DR has gone to ground. Have you thought it may possibly be because he is sick of being hammered?
