It looks to me like the deal won't be closing for a while, so I would expect dividends to continue until it does. Then there may be a small special dividend at the time the deal is done to cover earnings since the last regular dividend. I had thought that the deal would close soon after the end of the year, but with the recent announcement that they were hiring Lazard as an independent advisor, it looks like it'll take a while longer. Meanwhile, they should be operating as if there will be no deal. We should hear an announcement regarding the dividend by about the 20th.
