Calls from some analysts for Lonmin's largest shareholder, SA's Public Investment Corporation (PIC), to reject the take-over deal by Sibanye-Stillwater because it undervalued the former, were overshadowed by a 98.9% vote in favour of the transaction at the company's London shareholder meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
