At the special meeting, you will also be asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation that will or may become payable by Twitter to its named executive officers in connection with the merger; and a proposal for the adjournment of the special meeting.
The Proxy statement
Twitter is unanimously recommending accepting Elon Musk’s deal
The board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote for the merger agreement, for the compensation that would be required to be payable by Twitter to its executive officers, and for the adjournment of the special meetings from time to time.
In July or August, shareholders are anticipated to vote on Elon Musk’s proposed acquisition of the firm. At the time of writing, Twitter’s shares are currently trading at $38.63. Elon’s offer of $54.20 is way higher than the current price. So comparatively, the deal will be advantageous to the shareholders.
Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition deal was on the verge of doubt as Twitter was lagging in providing spam account details of the platform. Now the deal seems to be progressing, overthrowing doubts of failure.
