The rising tender rate (29.7% vs 28.4% on June 26) signals growing shareholder support, increasing the likelihood of Genco's board eventually negotiating. Traders should watch for Genco's response and any potential sweetened offer or defensive measures. The July 24 deadline creates a near-term catalyst for GNK shares to converge toward the offer price.
