I don't know if this was already discussed, but are the shares held by the major investor outside of the Depository Trust Company (DTC) in certificate form a means for a short squeeze? If the shares are not available for lending because they are in cert form this could be catastrophic for the short sellers when a deal is finally consummated and there are no shares to cover. I wouldn't want to be in their predicament. Otherwise, why would the investment company want the shares in cert form? I think the investor is looking for more than the deal price.
