Topps Delays Shareholder Meeting

The management of Topps Co. has delayed a shareholder vote because it fears it will lose.  The management is pushing a buyout with a favored bidder, Tornante Co., at $9.75 or so a share.  Topps management had previously rejected a bid, valued at $10.75 a share, from Upper Deck.  The Delaware Chancery Court has a long history of not supporting tampering with shareholder meeting dates and one wonders whether this move can past muster.
