You know, I would guess that the LAHO filings and resultant merger will continue. Otherwise, and this is just conjecture, the appearance of impropriety would lead investors to explore a class action suit. Even, without the filings and merger the possibility, of taking legal remedy is there. Not sure what monies would be collected and that would take years to resolve, imho.
One way or another, one or both of these two companies will be hard pressed not to release info for investors to digest, before the 20th of this month. Again, in my humble opinion.
I do not provide investment advice. This post is my personal opinion.
