If XJT put enough shares out there, and skw picked them up, CAL would have no say so at that point. This is all just IFs. I don't know their contractual setup. It's happened before. The last major one I saw what when Manchester United was part of a hostile takeover.
Thats actually not at all how companies deal with financial trouble. When you issue more stock all you do is dilute it, driving the price even lower. A more common practice is to issue bonds.
