Monitor the tender offer process and shareholder tenders; the deal has significant insider support (33% already committed) but remains subject to customary conditions. The CVR's revenue milestones for ShotSpotter and SafePointe in 2027 will determine additional payout — watch for any competitive or operational developments affecting those product lines.
