The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The tender offeror increased the price and lowered the minimum purchase threshold to provide shareholders with a better opportunity to tender and sell their shares, taking into account discussions with the target company and share price movements. These changes were also intended to increase the likelihood of completing the tender offer, given concerns that instability in the target company's business could impair its corporate value.
