Cash flow is resilient, and has been some years. There's scope for operators to reduce shareholder returns if they need to, although we don't think they will do that.

Alan Knight
[But a Florida shareholder last week had filed an objection to the company paying the fees, and Schwartz agreed.] It's a very good settlement, but I don't see the corporation paying for it, ... What I argue with is the corporation or the shareholders paying $25 million or $24 million or $1 million.

It's not like Tyson is alone (in having a dual-structure stock.) And it's not hidden. (The voting structure) is laid out in the filings. There are a lot of other issues, obviously, that have greater bearing on the stock price than shareholder structure.

David Singer
Although there would be no direct equity relationship between Apple and Disney, Mr. Jobs would be the largest individual shareholder in both, and would be likely to hold at least a board seat at Disney.

Richard Siklos

As this suit illustrates, we are prepared to act when necessary.
Claude Lamoureux
The price offered for DIS is fair and we won't raise it. We will continue with our bid, and we can live with a minority shareholder.

Stanley Subramoney
I continue to be a shareholder and a fan of [Microsoft], ... But that doesn't change our obligation to defend Network Commerce's rights to its innovative intellectual property. We hope to resolve this legal dispute amicably, perhaps through a licensing arrangement.

Martin Broughton
Essentially, it was not a good deal for Onyx as a company and for Onyx's shareholders. We would have had to issue a huge number of shares, and the net effect would have been grossly diluted shareholder value.
Robert Craig
Generally we don't like them as a basic principle. In some cases it is working reasonably well from a shareholder point of view and that has to do with the people involved.
Brian Gibson
In general, activism like this makes good sense as long as it's focused on issues that improve shareholder value.
Brad Barber
There are numerous competitors who could benefit immediately from acquiring Palm. The opportunity to realize these benefits will surely erode over time, as will shareholder value. It is imperative the Board act in a timely and decisive fashion before the opportunity to do so is diminished.
Mark Nelson
I'm the controlling shareholder, and I'm the one who entrusted the company to my son, ... It would appear to show that Inner City Broadcasting is supporting Bloomberg. I own it!

John Caudwell
Our in-country experts are seeing new development and construction projects underway.
