occurred when, in connection with or as the direct or indirect result of any
acquisition or sale of any asset or capital stock of West or Distributor, as the case may be, whether or not approved by that
company’s board of directors or its shareholders, any entity or person
either alone or acting in concert with others acquires shares of the company’s
stock and such acquisition results in that entity or person either alone or
acting in concert with others directly or indirectly owning beneficially 51% or
more of the company’s outstanding shares.
