The conversion and merger are progressing with strong subscription demand ($1.1B raised). The firm commitment offering at $10.00/share and the minimum share sale condition (142.375M shares) are key milestones. Monitor for final regulatory approvals and the independent appraisal — any delay or shortfall in the offering could derail the deal.
