I don’t think so. If this falls through there are others behind. Say Leo notifies this term sheet BP they just received a better offer......this BP says okay .... good luck. That means more time to go they next Term Sheet and DD. U have to get financing no matter what. U can’t just sit tight and think a deal will finalize. That would be a death sentence. Imo
Groton, just one possible scenario that Leo needs to consider. I assume that negotiations with suitor number 1 are still ongoing.
1. Current term sheet is exclusive and it falls thru. 2. Second suitor signs a term sheet, also exclusive. Science DD may be done already but time is needed for legal/financial DD. 3. Repeat until a deal is done or all suitors are gone.
We can only guess what are the time estimates on this. And nobody is paying Leo for lost time.
