proportional takeover, page-6

Anatol and Hotrock

Could you please explain how a partial takeover of MEO would change the side issue problem. I feel I am missing the point here ?
Assuming the problem is a side issue whatever that actually means how can a partial takeover resolve this issue, I am starting to feel like a dumb R'ss.

I do have a point that is bugging me which I have not seen discussed and that is why did we get the ann this morning as late as it was, everyone was expecting it well before open and it did not heppen. Could it be that there was some last minute manoeuvreing ? Was it assumed all parties were on the same page and getting all the signatures was a formality or did one party change their mind at the last minute. 2 days earlier we can assume MEO thought is was happening so what changed in those 2 days ?
