The $51 amended buyout price is 9% less than the original buyout price of $56, but it’s still a 38% premium to ALR’s closing price on 1/29/15—the last trading before the announcement of the original deal on 2/1/16 (#msg-120217001). The nominal deal value is $5.3B. The merger is expected to close late in 3Q17.
