<li>I have received several questions from readers on Ascendent’s binding proposal for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/hollysys-automation-technologies" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26078:1" rel="noopener">Hollysys Automation Technologies (HOLI US)</a> in the context of the current gross spread of 12.1%. </li>
<li>The questions primarily concerned the Capital Forum article, NSR approvals, timelines, auditor resignation and deal break risks. </li>
<li>Most of the questions concerned regulatory approval risk. The delay in closing is mainly procedural (government red tape) rather than an indication that regulators will block the deal. </li>
