Select the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!

The majority of the small shareholders of Delavigne Corp. want to sell their stock.

This is an incorrect choice. On the contrary, Ira writes that 251 out of 252 shareholders have declined Bruno's offer to buy back their stock. Only one shareholder, Bobby Ray McDonald, is going to accept Bruno's offer and sell his shares. The fact that the shareholders decline Bruno's offer indicates that they believe in the possibility of Delavigne Corp's long term success, and weren't convinced by Ira Canker's arguments that Bruno wasn't trustworthy.

Ira has decided to keep his Delavigne stock after all.

This is a correct choice. Ira writes, "neither I nor 251 out of 252 of the other small shareholders will be taking you up on your offer to buy back our stocks." This tells us that Ira as well as the majority of other small shareholders are refusing Bruno's offer to buy back their stocks. They want to keep them.

Ira will wait to see if Bruno will make him a better offer.

This is an incorrect choice. Ira writes that he will take a "wait-and-see" approach to managing his stocks in the company - in other words, he will wait to see how the company does in the future before making a decision to sell his stocks. He has turned down Bruno's offer, and does not indicate that he is waiting for another one!

Ira hopes that Bruno is not angry about the comments he made at the shareholders meeting.

This is a correct choice. Ira writes "I hope that you did not take my constructive criticism at the shareholders" meeting too harshly." This means that Ira hopes that Bruno did not take offense at Ira's comments during the meeting. He then uses the expression 'no hard feelings", which is used to indicate that there is no anger or animosity between two people who have come into conflict.
