The deal appears de-risked with committed financing, ~27% locked-up stockholder support from Pinetree and Ocho, and TopCo holders representing 62% supporting the Indian shareholder vote. The primary near-term catalyst is the stockholder vote (date TBD); monitor for any competing bid emergence despite the $12.3M termination fee and 4 business-day match right. The stock should trade in a narrow range near $26.25 minus deal risk premium (~$0.50-$1.00) post-vote announcement. Trade the spread tightening into expected Q3 closing.
