What would happen if Anheuser-Busch stock goes above $70?

Question

For the past few weeks, AB's stock price has steadily risen, and is currently hovering around $68. If it continues to seadily rise and go beyond $70, what would the mean for the $70 a share deal? Would shareholders reject the deal? It would then literally mean that InBev would be buying AB at a discount, wouldn't it?

Answer 1

It seems to be a done deal.

Arbitragers would short the stock above $70/ share, and buyer under $70/ share.

Answer 2

will not happen. the purchase price offered sets a hard ceiling. nobody would buy at $70.01 as it guarantees a 1 cent per share loss.

Answer 3

Yes, but also the stock could split, which is what is most likely to happen.
