doesnt matter if shareholders vote against the deal. part of the agreement gave JPM an option to buy the building for $1.1B minus expenses. Whatever happens, JPM gets the building.

i wasn't making my comment in regards to the issue of the building. but since you bring up that point, the only way i see this realistically ending up with bear coming out an independent firm is that the agreement goes away, and any terms re the building are irrelevant at that point. as i understand the agreement in its current terms, its virtually impossible for bear shareholders to finally stop the deal. they'll likely need to get a court to step in, and once/if that happens, who knows what terms in this agreement survive w/o modification.
