AstraZeneca shareholders upset at rejection of Pfizer offer • 7:08 AM

Leading AstraZeneca (AZN) shareholders aren't happy about the company's rebuffing of Pfizer's latest £69B ($117B) offer.
Jupiter Fund Management, a top-30 shareholder in the U.K. pharmaceuticals provider, is "disappointed" that the rejection was so categorical. "They should have at least engaged in a constructive conversation...to assess the opportunities that a combined entity could bring," Jupiter says.
A fund manager at a top 10 investor says: "We do not think the Astra management have done a good job on behalf of shareholders."
AstraZeneca's shares are -12% premarket.

AZ CEO is not going to have an easy time with shareholders for his remaining time at the company.

There are several shareholders in support of the decision too, you seem to forget. He'll be fine.

Really? You are a lying moron. The Shareholders would never be happy with 1/4 ownership of Pfizer. You are just stirring up trouble. Not to mention all the government red tape that was emerging and the bad press about Pfizer running from the U.S. It was a mess. Pascal did right. WE should BUY SHIRE!

Pascal and the Board are out of control and need to go. I think his gigantic ego got in the way. Arrogant prick!

We still are hoping for freedom as Pfizer will rekindle the offer. We wait and hope for freedom.

If you want your "freedom" you don't need Pfizer for it. The door is always open...bye!

The severance package will give us money to advance our preppers.

OMG. So sick of hearing you whiners complain about wanting your freedom. If you're such great employees, QUIT!!! Go elsewhere. Nothing says you can't go work for Pfizer anyway. Some of us actually are proud to be here at AZ and those who would like to behave like 5 year olds and follow this post with obscenities, please just spare us and go network on other company boards. Best of luck. Sorry it didn't work out for you. But, we'd like to move on with our lives.

It's not over, we will be free. You will see. Don't be so happy. Your job is over.

If we all band together and ask for freedom this will make all of us happy.

Offer was amazing. I can not believe the AZ Board rejected the offer. I believe management ignored the shareholders' interest rather they focused on safeguarding SET's length of stay - allowing them to have longer terms in their respective positions and also allowing them to find other job offers. One thing for sure, the rejection has boosted the morale of insecure lower management. They see longevity, at least for now.

No way! They also stood to make millions on this and have no need for longevity! How much did they pay to bring Pascal on? He could have walked away rich and happy and retired. So think about it. He simply did yhe right thing - remember our values? Most of us appreciate it here!
