we are not taking anything for granted, aren't we?

Nor should we! So, to play devil's advocate: from what I've read up to now, someone who doesn't want to see the merger going through can buy 5% of the float, then file for dissenters' status - cost about $40M, of which you're likely to regain at least, say, half. Much cheaper than making an irresistible counteroffer and paying Ancor's break-up fee...

Why on earth is that clause in the merger agreement? Is that a legal requirement in Minnesota or something?
