Roger, I don't profess to have a clear understanding of the proposals, but as long as ANCR is showing losses, more shares outstanding will narrow the loss per share <g>.
Ergo, I will vote yes and do my part to minimize ANCR's loss per share.


The authorization to increase the authorized # of shares doesn't have any per share effect unless they are in fact issued. The additional shares in their treasury could be sold, held or distributed to us stockholders as a split!:-)

Wiat a minute...you were joshing

Alan,

Thanks for answering. That is an angle that I hadn't thought about. Additional shares would lower the loss per share. It sounds good, but isn't in fact an illusion with no real value? It was also further questioned as to whether those shares would be released or held in reserve. I'm still not sure if additional shares are good or bad. I may be further confused on what the difference is between doubling the number of shares and offering a stock split. Any other comments?

Alan,

>I admit the 'A' in M&A does seem far fetched but stranger things have happened

So if I am understanding you correctly, you are suggesting that the VCs behind Brocade have approached Ancor about a buyout, and Ancor needs a few more shares authorized in order to buy Brocade before the IPO. Do I have this straight?
