The $7.40/share cash offer represents a substantial premium. Traders should monitor the spread to $7.40, which will reflect deal risk including regulatory approvals (antitrust, money transmitter licenses across multiple jurisdictions), the ~12-month timeline to close, and potential competing bids despite the no-shop clause. The 19% locked-up vote reduces but does not eliminate shareholder approval risk. Key catalysts: proxy filing, shareholder meeting date, and regulatory milestones.
