All involved are well aware of MOFCOM issue. They went through this as HGST/WDC merger. You think Apollo and Elliott are that foolish?

This is monumentally stupid. This merger will never get MOFCOM approval. And then WD needs to cough up a couple of billions to Kioxia as termination fee for failed merger.

Well our stock has been up ~45% this year. I ain’t complaining if the rumors are working to pump stock up.
