Re: I think the reason AMD rushed the meeting was to beat Intel to a split, as nonsensical as that seems. Petz, Or maybe because there hasn't been a split since like the eighteen-hundreds? chic

Petz: <<I think the reason AMD rushed the meeting was to beat Intel to a split, as nonsensical as that seems.>> When the original proxy was prepared (late Feb early March), AMD was not anticipating a stock split, therefore, no proposal of share increase was included in the original proxy. The share increase proposal and the seperate meeting tomorrow are a after-thought of AMD management as a result of AMD stock run-up in late March and April.
