Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Fiduciary-duty investigations in large M&A can raise closing risk, prompt renegotiation, or even termination. While the deal has a fixed $65 per share with a ~$17B equity value, fresh litigation claims introduce near-term price uncertainty and potential value realization risk for CART holders. Historical patterns show such inquiries often cause short-term volatility and delayed closing, even if the ultimate outcome remains uncertain.
