Shin Kong & Taishin EGMs are Weds 9 Oct. Both firms are offering gifts to attend. Worth watching CTBC meeting 11 Oct too. Proxy solicitation attorneys hard at work. 16 for the FOR camp at Shin Kong, 13 for the opposition (Paul LIN, Eugene WU, etc). Each solicitor can only do 3% of votes which is why so many. ISS and GL both support. Apparently CalSTRS and AP2 voted FOR. I expect it passes.
