Actionable Insight • Neutral

Monitor the dissent period (May 6-13) for cumulative notices reaching the 20% threshold, which would force a shareholder vote and delay the deal. The exchange ratio and timeline are locked, so any material update will likely come from regulatory filings or changes in dissent activity.
