VIAS: the acquired share price is fixed at $9.00 provided that you TENDER the share. This means that you have to wait for a couple of months as set by the acquirer and pay reorg fees. If this period is extended then you have to wait again: sometimes 6-8 months before you can make use of the money. So people often sell share on the open
market.
With a fixed price you usually do NOT get the full $9.00 when you sell it on the market.

Usually the hedge funds would buy VIAS on the market for less than
$9.00 and collect the difference from the acquirer.

In case of ABT bought AZA or Voicestream bought OMPT, the share price is determined by a formula. Each share of AZA worth 1.2 share of ABT,
if ABT goes up then you collect more OR less if ABT going down.
In case of OMPT, each share worth .8xx of VCS plus $8.00 cash. Therefore in these cases you see OMPT or AZA changes ....

Hope this answer your question.
