Jim,
I am not good at reading the tea leaves, but given the date has been moved forward and a range of value provided has not materially changed, is this deal more likely to happen at the prices anticipated than when it was announced? The disclaimers are still there, but for example, if there was any indications that regulators were leaning against the deal, wouldn’t that disclosure be advisable? After all, there are law firms circling the deal, ready to pounce, suggesting that the 50+% premium being paid is insufficient, lol.
