It always hazardous to make a judgement without a complete understanding of the picture and there are always two sides to the story. In effect both sides are saying "trust me", and on that basis perhaps the balance favours PD and AF, not least because management team is responsible for creating the product, but its important to remember there is more than one faction here and many have a good deal of respect for GM.

The ordinary shareholders are being put at an unfair disadvantage by being kept in the dark, and the BOD needs to give permission or release the details of the dispute itself. They want to keep it under wraps while they "negotiate" with the management to try and find a solution which doesn't involve a shareholder meeting. Releasing the information would effectively signal that negotiations have failed and a vote will take place. If details are not released we will end up voting on blind faith.
