I think it's important for people to realize that this is NOT a dividend scenario. No GOOG investor will gain value because of this transaction -- in fact, each GOOG investor will lose value (voting power) because of this transaction.
- fletchowns 14y agoeach GOOG investor will lose value (voting power) because of this transaction Even though these new shares are non-voting shares?
