The merger effectively transfers control to Suniva, making SUNE a shell for a solar manufacturing pure-play. Monitor SEC S-4 filing for detailed financials and risk disclosures. The ~100% premium to SUNE's last close may provide a floor, but the 1.8% ownership stake for current SUNE holders implies massive dilution. Watch for closing conditions and financing for the SC expansion.
