SAFT shares should trade toward the $105 offer price, with the spread reflecting deal-closing risk (regulatory approvals, stockholder vote). Traders should monitor the proxy filing for the special meeting date and any potential competing bids. The 44% premium provides a clear floor, but the stock may not fully converge to $105 until all conditions are satisfied.
