cable dawg, i hope your question is not a devious ploy, if not i believe the company is very much aware of this merger because they are in negotiatons if not finalizing the merger as i write this.
when a merger of this magnatude is taking place and between two foreign countries can u imagine the language barrier especially corporate law. if it was english speaking with english speaking the deed would be done already.
because of the barrier my guess 2 to 3 times longer.
if you have doubts buy less, or sell out and move on. what ever you decide todo today , good luck.
