I'm wondering the same myself...

It looks like a pretty good deal -- you get NEOG shares at a 7% discount to market. You might be able to tender your shares and immediately sell for a profit? But life is never that simple...

If it is truly a good deal, then you would expect institutional shareholders to tender their shares. And if the bulk of the outstanding MMM shares are tendered, only 3% will actually be accepted/converted.

Alternatively, institutional shareholders may know from experience that the selling activity following the conversion will depress NEOG shares for a time -- making it less of a good deal than it first appears.

If I wanted to own/hold NEOG, then I would tender my MMM shares and see how it unfolds. In this case I have no interest in NEOG and thus will let others roll the dice.
