Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The investigation introduces deal-uncertainty risk, which historically can delay or derail mergers and depress stock sentiment even when a fixed price is set; past go-private cases with legal reviews often see headwinds to closing and minor downside pressure until clarity emerges.
