I would go as far as to suggest the big boys have already offered validation, just by virtue of entering into and completing negations; albeit the news is unannounced and there is uncertainty about the closing or under what terms.
What's interesting is how much potential news is swirling around the company and what the potential is for the stock price should that news be even moderately positive.
Closing is part of the negotiation process. Performance after closing can be included. "Already negotiated" seems fairly self explanatory to some and apparently nebulous to others. Are scientists the former or the latter?
