Looks like those BOD members are just giving due notice...it is incumbent upon the BOD members to identify the risks of a failed merger attempt. IMO if HWP doesn't accept the efforts of their management and the BOD the stock tanks due to the uncertainty that is curtain to occur...

>>>Instead of releasing the name of a large institutional shareholder who will vote for the merger<<< Many funds do not want their opinions publicized on this matter. They have nothing to gain by announcing publicly what their intentions will be. Fo example...If Fidelity said they would be in favor...then Vanguard might be inclined to do the opposite. I believe that the BOD have some confidential information on some major shareholders that just want to stay out of the fray.
