The merger agreement with a $20.35/share cash offer provides a clear exit at a fixed premium. Watch for stock trading near the $20.35 level; any material deviation suggests deal risk (regulatory approval, financing, or competing bid). The insider group's voting commitment removes a key uncertainty for deal completion.
