The $0.82 cash bid provides a floor, but the existence of an undisclosed FullBeauty merger creates a potential bidding war. Watch for the Schedule 14D-9 recommendation—if the board rejects Zodiac's offer, the stock may trade back down; if they negotiate a higher deal, upside remains. Arbitrageurs should monitor for topping bids or walkaway breakup fees.
