Analysis · SAFT · Finance
The last major stockholder hurdle for the $105-per-share all-cash sale to Mapfre is now cleared: 11,298,703 votes for versus 12,918 against, with only 26,574 abstentions. That margin removes deal-approval risk from the thesis, leaving regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions as the remaining gating items. With the stock at $104.26 against a $105 deal price, the market is already pricing near-completion, so the vote mostly confirms the spread rather than creating new upside.
