Q: Would appreciate your opinion on the following
Given the trade tensions between Canada and the USA what is the chance that Ottawa might not allow the takeover. And should Ottawa deny the takeover, what happens? I assume PKI shares could fall substantially.
Secondly, the current value of shares and cash, which most likely all PKI shareholders will get, is currently not $44 , but closer to $41.50 a share. Do you concur? And if so would you anticipate any top up to bring the offer closer to the $44 level.?
Based on your analysis, what is the best strategy: should Parkland shareholders continue to hold the shares or sell the shares and move on?
Thanks for your insight.

5i Research Answer:
We discussed the takeover today here. Since the announcement, SUN shares are down $5 and the Canadian dollar has also risen. Thus the value of the transaction is lower than before. There will likely be more government scrutiny but at the end of the day we think approval will be given. But for now we would HOLD into the special meeting.
