After the last proxy fight, Bronfman began to buy back in. He had acquired over 400,000 shares when he was approached this summer by Levin, who wanted to buy Bronfman's stock or get his aid in another proxy fight. When Bronfman refused both propositions, Levin decided to sell. He will make a pre-tax profit of more than...
