According to TradingView, citing Triad's press release, the M&F shareholder meeting has been adjourned to November 4, and Triad says the M&F board will not engage.

why it matters
The rival bid adds uncertainty to the transaction: closing timelines could shift, and investor pressure or further offers could change the terms. For M&F shareholders, the outcome of the vote and the board's willingness to talk remain the key factors. This is informational, not investment advice.
