The private placement on the deal was pretty much the final finacing likely needed to get through to production, which was done so that if this merger gets interesting in the final approvals, at least at ground level, the mine would be completed on the current projected timeline.
It's also a protection mechanism to raise the cost for rival competitive bids and I'm pretty sure CBX shares would be voteable on anouther bid (I don't know that they count for voting on CBX's bid, not that it would matter much anyway)... It was a smart add on in many ways to make things roll smoothly...
