The stock should trade near the $7.40 offer price, with the spread reflecting deal risk and time to close. Key milestones to watch: filing of the proxy statement within 30 days, stockholder vote, HSR clearance, and any competing bids during the go-shop period. The deal has locked-up ~14.5% of votes, reducing execution risk. Monitor for any shareholder litigation or regulatory delays that could widen the spread.
