<ul>
<li>The deal price is higher than the Bloomberg article insinuated. The closing date is earlier than the Bloomberg article suggested. But that doesn't mean it's enough. </li>
<li>The Large ToSTNeT-3 buyback last year changed the shareholder structure significantly, but many holders who sold are unknown. I would expect they were cross-holders. </li>
<li>For that, this deal is NOT a done deal. There may be games played on this deal. </li>
