Do I get a vote?
ARM is still my biggest single shareholding. My inclination as shareholder is to vote against any loss of independence. It'll take more than a just a five-figure boost to my pot to change my vote: it'll need a convincing story about being a Good Thing for the industry (can't see that), or at worst a real fabulous "retire rich" premium (which I doubt even Apple could offer).
So, what will the big institutional shareholders do? Who's pulling their strings?
