I called Mannkind concerning
Thursdays Meeting. I was told that the only business being conducted is to vote on the four proposals before the board. I was also told that they weren't taking any questions from the public.

Let me retread the announcement of the shareholders meeting and get back to ya |

I'm afraid those who are planning to attend Thursday's sham might well find a padlock on the door and a note from the CEO and BOD that will say, "Thanks for the parachutes boys and girls," with a little postscript in the lower right corner...see you next year.

It would be important to clarify what they mean by "meeting". I have presided over annual meetings where the "official meeting" lasted less than 15 minutes. All that is legally required is to confirm the auditors, poll the corporate secretary for the vote count on the proxy items, and, assuming the proxy votes are sufficient, confirm the resolutions and adjourn the meeting.
That said, we had a session that immediately followed the meeting where we presented slides and answered questions from shareholders for another 90-120 minutes, followed by informal one-on-one chats over coffee. The annual meeting is one of the few times management gets to interact face-to-face with its shareholders and that interaction is good for both sides. I would hope management would take the opportunity to meet with those who care enough about the company to show up at the meeting.

I believe it's been just like you explained it every other year.

Is there a webcast for the meeting? I can't attend, but I would be interested in following along.

There is also not a webcast listed. There is an Annual Meeting listed for last year (2016), but there is no Conf Call or Webcast listed for 2016: 05/19/16 10:00 AM ET MannKind Corporation Annual Meeting I cannot remember hearing a conf call for 2016 Annual Meeting. But ... there was a webcast for the BOA/Merrill Lynch 2016 Health Care Conf last year: 05/12/16 8:00 AM PT Bank of American Merrill Lynch 2016 Health Care Conference Location: Encore at Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas Webcast Listen to webcast The 2017 BOA/ML HCC begins tomorrow, but I haven't heard of Mannkind speaking in it (although, I am behind in reading PB, so I may have missed it posted somewhere). |

I'm beginning to think that this is NOT a normal company. Reminds of the Great American Steamboat company years ago. Talked a great talk about expanding from riverboat cruises on the Mississippi to buying a couple of cruise ships, on to sail on the Great Lakes and the other up and down the East Coast, all without turning a profit on the riverboat cruises, all with golden parachutes during their last ASM. They filed for bankruptcy two months later. I do recall listening in...the CFO had difficulty answering analyst questions and often finished with 'I'll get back to you on this," and the CEO deferring to the CFO.

My girl friend just DM'd me:
I called mannkind - Roberta said she has not heard that at all and that they always take questions!!!
She is double checking with Matt and calling me back.
I think maybe people are putting out just pure lies at this point!
