◆ The Wire takeaway

You must now plan to complete mergers even when regulatory delays frustrate your timeline as courts may enforce deal closure instead of permitting exits. This ruling puts founders in regulated sectors on notice that withdrawal attempts can backfire and lock you into costly commitments.
