Wang asked for new anti-takeover provisions.

The measures, which would change voting rules on two classes of Wang Laboratories stock, would make it more difficult for a takeover to succeed if it is opposed by the family of founder and Chairman An Wang. The provisions, to be voted on at the Oct. 2 annual meeting, would require that any takeover be approved by two-thirds of all shares and a majority of both the widely held class B stock and of the class C stock, three-fourths of which is owned by Wang and his family. The company said it isn’t currently involved in any negotiations or discussions involving a takeover.
