The deal spread now reflects the announced premium; traders should monitor for stockholder votes and regulatory approvals as key catalysts. Any opposition or delay risk would widen the spread, but the FAQ confirms no deal-term changes. The combined entity's enhanced scale and cost synergies under MITT may support MITT's stock going forward.
