Michael,

Do you follow Ralston Purina or Nestle, and do you have an expectation for anti-trust concerns with the deal? The combined company could have around 40% marketshare in petfood in U.S. (RAL has about 29% or so and Nestle has about 11%).

RAL has increased to $31.50 and the price of the deal is $33.50/share, so it seems most are betting it goes through, but I guess I have concerns. If you had RAL would you cut and run at this point or hold on for potential merger?

Thanks, Shane
