I certainly hope it closes by Wednesday, but the same was true last month. If all concerned wish to go another month I doubt if they'll have much trouble in doing so. I doubt if the stock will make any substantial move either way until the merger is completed. Hopefully the news that's released once that happens will result in a big move up at that time.
Ive read on the SEC website that in share exchange agreements the Audited financials have to be released ( Core Optics in this case ) when the market is NOT trading to give all investors a chance to read them before the stock resumes trading .... I dont know if that applies here but it should . In the closing agreement the Core Optics audited financials were to be released as part of closing . Market closes in 2 1/2 hours so we will see
