The deal is likely to be approved given preferred stockholders control 90.9% of voting power and the board recommends it. If approved, common shareholders will receive a special dividend of $0.35-$0.45 per share. Risks include BPB's ability to raise capital, the pending Chino Valley sale, and potential litigation. Trade the stock toward the low end of the dividend range if the deal closes, as the stock trades near $0.38.
