The announcement reinforces deal certainty and integration readiness ahead of the May 8 shareholder vote and expected May 13 closing. Traders should monitor for any shareholder opposition or regulatory delays, though the DOT interim exemption already cleared a major hurdle. Post-close, focus will shift to operational integration and synergy capture.
