Hybrid holders can take the high and mighty road and say - dilute the f*** out of of SRS as per "our entitlements" - SRS just say, good luck putting that forward to shareholders and getting it up...

IMO (and that of the current board) the current deal needs to go ahead to return any sort of value to the company. PXUPA holders would have to be leaning to acceptance as a failure will see the SP drop back to pre-announcement prices immediately.
