Agree with you that litigation does not rule out BO, but IMO it all depends on the amenability, urgency, and cooperation of the acquirer.

To me that workable scenario looks something like an agreement where both parties agree 1) the litigation is a nuisance AND 2) it will only affect the valuation at nominal (relatively in BP terms) dollars “X”.

In this possible but rather unlikely case I think the acquirer would just make it part of the deal and cover the cost of settlement to get it done.

If a settlement happens an unusually high price could mean a buyer is in the wings.
