I don't have shares either nor a lot of experience in these deals,

but if you look at the chart, the equity was taken out of the deal for retail at the open on the day it was pr'd. As a matter of fact you can see insiders or some really really intuitive investors were buying the day before the pr, just the way it works as we know or should know.

To buy now you'd want to have a longer term outlook and determine why is the buyer acquiring, what do they see and if you have confidence in the acquirer to grow the business? The other consideration I would have is what would the effect be if TFM decided to shop for a better deal and the liklihood they could get one, none of which I can answer for you.

Best of luck.

"The spread is trading at $0.19 gross or about 0.67%. If you annualize the spread out to a two or 2.5-month timeline, the spread is trading at 3.2%. This is a relatively narrow spread. The Fresh Market is allowed a 21-day “go-shop” period to solicit other bids."

Wow Mike, my mind must have been completely somewhere else I totally misread your question that scenario having never entered my mind and being quite remarkable, but no, nice thought tho' lol. It's a straitforward buy the company, improve its performance, and then sell it back into the marketplace at a higher multiple than the purchase price or so Global hopes.

Sorry for any confusion.

So if I bought then sold now, even though I don't have any of the shares anymore, I'll still have the $28 per share ??
