The merger is on track with both boards unanimously recommending approval and all financial advisors deeming the consideration fair. The key catalyst is the shareholder vote on September 3, 2026 — a 'FOR' vote is highly likely given insider support and the premium offered. Post-vote, focus shifts to regulatory approvals (FERC, NRC, state commissions) which could take 12-18 months. Monitor for any dissident shareholder activity or regulatory pushback that could delay or alter terms.
