[Leica] Leica Camera AG ownership

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

Stan,
ACM currently owns 96,5% of the Leica shares - 15 shareholders declined 
to accept the cash offer for their shares in the intended squeeze-out 
and took the matter to the courts in Frankfurt/Main  (99.48% of 
shareholders agreed to accept). Since then , 2 have retracted their 
opposition and the remaining 13 cases have not yet been processed, but 
should begin in March of this year.
Cheers
Douglas
