I was wrong. But thankfully, the major shareholders held out for a hire offer! Do you think if Dish loses on it's Sprint bid it will go after LEAP? Or if Softbank loses, will they go after LEAP? Just curious....

As some stakeholders continue to show their dissatisfaction with the T-Mobile and MetroPCS (NYSE: PCS) merger, the latter pushed forward the date for the shareholders' vote. The date for the special meeting has been rescheduled from March 28 to April 12, where shareholders would discuss matter concerned to the proposed merger.
The largest investor of MetroPCS, Paulson & Co, publicly expressed its agitation regarding the deal and said that it would vote against the transaction, unless T-Mobile sweetens its offer. In addition, P. Schoenfeld Asset Management LP, which owns 2.3% of MetroPCS, has asked the two parties to update the merger documents with the latest regulatory filings of both the carriers before the vote.
With major shareholders pushing for a "no" vote on the merger. I would these shareholders to be getting in contact with Dish in an effort to get a better offer on the table before the voting date.
