Through the grapevine. Heard it from someone else who's heard about it.

Where did this come from
Would be very strange if this is actually real, not sure why they would do this
Bruh did you just drop some MNPI
Someone's getting fired and sued if this is true
I hope your real name isn’t in your username right after dropping MNPI brother
Thanks op, making a trade in pwp stock now

Some HF analyst has calls on PWP popping this week, no one could be dumb enough to post this
Everybody who read this thread is getting an SEC visit tomorrow
No chance, we literally just celebrated Independence Day, why would we go and get acquired now
I understand both China and Israel have made bids
Can’t bid on what you already own
The country or a company?
adding in what i know from my senior bankers:
- deal will be in all cash
- PWP will lay off 50% of the USA bankers they hire
- part of a bigger move, more acquisitions will follow from PWP
Why lie?
all cash as opposed to...stock? USA isn't a public company
Also as funny as it is to imagine OP being hauled off to ricker's island, maybe this info isn't even material? how much does this add to PWP's topline?
Holy shit you're VP and never heard of share swap i.e. allowing current investors in the acquisition target to roll their stake into the newly formed entity?
How close is the deal to closing?
Like it's not already run by one entity
Hopefully by a country with cheaper cost of capital and lower tax-rate lemme tell ya hooooooooo boy.
EV goes crazy with the national debt
you made a fresh account to comment this?
No, this is my main account. I've never used it to comment before.
Can someone explain the PWP references?
Someone leaked that PWP was acquiring them (alongside other acquisitions they allegedly have coming up).
So PWP monthly calls based on a WSO MNPI leak it is, got it. Compliance come and get me.
Time to change your username
