The stock should trade near the $17.37 offer price with a discount reflecting deal-closing risk (regulatory, shareholder vote, court sanction). Monitor for any competing bids, regulatory developments, and the proxy statement filing. The deal is not subject to financing, reducing closing risk. The spread may narrow as approvals are obtained.
