AES stockholders approve $15 cash offer from GIP-EQT consortium; close anticipated

Jun 26, 2026, 4:03 PM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The cash buyout sets a near-term price target at $15; typical arbitrage will push AES toward that level absent deal disruption. If regulatory or financing delays occur, risk to the spread increases; if the deal completes, investors receive cash at $15 per share.
