RE:"Anticipated annual run rate synergies of $1.2 billion"Hopefully the companies will come to their senses, honour the agreement, do what not only is their legal responsibility but in the long run probably what's best for the company, shareholders and all other parties..... before it comes to legal blows, in which the company will most likely lose.
All just my opinion.
$1.2 Billion in savings every year!!! What's the one time cost of the Preferreds compared to this???. Doesn't even have to cost, they can save! Finance the purchase of the Preferreds at lower cost debt! Basically exchanging High Cost Debt, with low cost Debt!
All just my opinion.

Legal battle, which the company most likely going to lose, is going to cost them dearly. I can see not only the company paying $25/share, but punitive damages and court costs, IMHO. Not only this, for myself as a shareholder, I would trust the company LESS.....this probably would cost the company much much more down the road in terms of share price and additional capital investment or financing.
Company needs to set things right. It's what's best for the companies, IMHO.
All just my opinion.
