The deal is fully disclosed with no new terms. Monitor for the filing of the S-4 registration statement and proxy statement, which will provide the exchange ratio valuation and shareholder vote timeline. FTHM shareholders should evaluate the implied premium relative to BBBY's stock price at closing. The termination of FTHM's CEO adds execution risk but is unlikely to derail the deal.
