What about Rontan's operators telling us to address our questions for management to GDSI? I guess that doesn't mean a damn thing either? When Rontan's employees redirect inquiries to GDSI's management, that means it's all wrapped up and waiting for the bow to be put on it.

A merger occurs when two separate entities combine forces to create a new, joint organization. An acquisition refers to the takeover of one entity by another. A new company does not emerge from an acquisition; rather, the smaller company is often consumed and ceases to exist, and its assets become part of the larger company. Acquisitions – sometimes called takeovers – generally carry a more negative connotation than mergers. For this reason, many acquiring companies refer to an acquisition as a merger even when it is clearly not.
