Traders should monitor the progress of shareholder and regulatory approvals, particularly in Canada and key markets where Boralex operates. The absence of a financing condition increases deal certainty. Given the significant premium and strong backing from two major institutional investors, arbitrage opportunities may exist between now and expected Q4 2026 close, assuming no competing bids emerge.
