My understanding is that if Danone decides to
waive the 90% condition, they would have to take all acceptances from current
shareholders - they could not choose to accept some and not others. In
your example then, they would have to take 80% and could not scale it back to
just 51%.

One question, if Danone fails in its bid to acquire 90% but opts to take a
lesser interest, it is my understanding that they must take either less than
20% or more than 50%. If they take more than 50% do they have to accept all
acceptances from current shareholders, in otherwords if they get 80%
acceptance do they have to take it all or can they just acquire 51%?
