Right on. For the first time I found the reverse texas hedge concept suitable: Buy the common as low as possible and also buy warrants on the cheap, with a certain ratio. If the deal fails, I get 7.90, for the common and one cent for the warrant. If the deal goes through the warrant goes into the orbit and I lose (a bit) on the common.
