More than likely, however, the possibility of ABK simply walking away is very slim even with $3B at play.
- That $3B would end up in ABK cash on end, not in shareholder pocket directly, it might take years before they see a dividend on this would they go this route.
- The stock value is currently more than $3B higher than without the deal in place.
- That more than $3B would go directly into the shareholder's pocket if the deal goes through as opposed to No.1. Ask @Imaginedvl which outcome he wants XD.
- I don't think Kottick is under any obligation to bring a vote on whether to leave the deal or not unless there are sufficient demands to that from shareholders
- Even if there's a demand for this by shareholders, organizing a vote might take several days
- Even if a vote occurs I'd be baffled if they vote to leave, after all, they voted for the deal to occur, and like stated, they themselves stand to gain way less by leaving the deal.
Yet even if it's unlikely it is still better for MS to look to set an extension on paper, if even just to stave off legal challenge from some disgruntled shareholders.
