You explained it perfectly, no white board needed.

I can only add one minor point from a general and international perspective: 50% may not always be enough. At least in Sweden I think you need 90% to accept a bid before you can legally force the remaining 10% to sell their shares. Even if you accept that there will be minority shareholders you will need 67% before you can do some things, like e.g. issue new shares without giving minority owners right of first refusal.

I'm sure there's a lot of devils in the details all over the world, and I'd be surprised if there are none in the US.
