The definitive proxy is now in shareholders' hands, and the November 18 special meetings are the next key catalyst. The DOJ Second Request introduces regulatory timeline uncertainty, but the parties have until March 30, 2027 (with potential extensions to September 30, 2027) to close. Monitor for any shareholder vote results or regulatory developments that could alter the deal timeline or terms.
