The merger process is advancing with the preliminary proxy filing, but the concurrent restatement and default waivers introduce execution risk. Monitor stockholder vote and any regulatory approvals for the merger; the restatement's resolution via waivers removes near-term credit event risk but signals accounting control issues.
