There goes all the money raised in the IPO.

[–] XLE@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

Don't worry, the losses will go straight to the retirement funds.

[–] tekato@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It’s a stock deal. At $2.5 Trillion valuation I’d say this is chump change.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I bet it will be a stock deal.

It was all stock. I dont know if it was at a pre determined price, or if they closed it at the intraday price on the day of though.

That's also more shares that will be offloaded when insider blackout periods end

Interesting, so they've agreed to do it, but at the very least 7 trading days will need to pass to satisfy that, assuming the execution of the option is immediate.

I guess the earliest would be in July, because they also stated in the same document I linked:

The Company currently expects the Merger to close during the third quarter of 2026.

AFAIK it's less than 10%. But it's a start. 🤣🤣🤣

[–] airbreather@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The IPO reportedly raised $85 billion

Valuation (which is where that "over $1 trillion" comes from) is a different thing entirely

Yes of course you are right, my bad.
The 1 trillion is an extrapolation.
