HCA Vote

HCA shareholders will still be allowed to vote on a proposed $21 billion buyout on Nov. 16, after a < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Tennessee judge rules against six shareholder groups that had been seeking a delay. The groups had alleged that the offer is unfairly low, but the judge ruled that they had failed to prove their case. One final hope for the plaintiffs will come on Nov. 13, during a motion for an injunction.
