RE: RE: RE: January 20th at latest Peter, the deal will never CLOSE in 2012.
We will be lucky if it is ANNOUNCED in 2012.
The tax benefits will be used in 2013 at the earliest and I understand that only about half of them are available in the first year.
CLOSING will only occur after the approval of the power regulators in each State, and the expiry of the Hart Scott Rudino process at the US Dept. of Justice.
