Watch for the formal Schedule TO filing expected by October 15, 2026, which will contain definitive terms and conditions. Monitor SOL price during the offer period as the $100 floor condition is a key risk. The tender offer's success will signal management's conviction in the strategic transformation and provide a floor for the stock near $3.00.
