Thats what it looks like to me too. Of course they can always push it out another quarter if they need to.

Opinion on the part in red Ash? This is something ive wondered about since we first heard about Dentsply, NGK, etc..

Maximising the value of target IP for an acquirer

Even acquirers are considering whether they would prefer to spin off patents of a target before or simultaneously with the acquisition of that target. This is particularly the case for acquirers with significant cross-licensing arrangements that would capture the target’s patents the moment that the target became controlled by the acquirer. The value of those patents may be higher, both to the acquirer and to any potential purchaser of those patents, if the target’s patents remain unencumbered by the acquirer’s cross-licences. Of course,the acquirer will want to ensure that it receives a broad, irrevocable and royalty-free licence-back under those patents prior to divesting them.
