Rose, I don't think you're missing anything. If the deal closes, you will get the exact premium for VSIO that the deal specifies. I closely followed the price action of USRX (U.S. Robotics) for months after COMS (3Com) bought them out. There were many times that there was a similar gap. As the time neared for the consumation of the deal, the gap closed. The gap is caused by m&a arbitragers on wall street. The gap represents the risk that the deal will fall through. Should that happen, VSIO would in theory fall, assuming there had been a premium paid for the VSIO stock.
