Monitor for the filing of the definitive proxy statement and Schedule 13E-3, which will provide the full terms and conditions of the merger, including the record date for the special meeting and the expected closing timeline. The November 23, 2026 plan freeze date is a key milestone — any delay in the shareholder vote or regulatory approvals past that date could signal deal execution risk.
