Yes, Stark did give the content of new filing a cosideration and told Pincus to rebut. It's up to Pincus to reply in ways that Stark can deny their claim in the same way as he did for Andrianza. One of the statements made by the judge way earlier is that the original Tenor(KRY) filing contained common shareholders interests, so not to worry. This goes to way back to when Gowling was involved. Extension request DENIED.
Now its up to Pincus to come up with stuff, so that the filing, as in Andrianza's case, can be DENIED again and again. Stark is facing very powerful companies with the new filing, this time. A flurry of new court dates, one right after another, should settle the outcome of the injunction quickly. Stark still wants to maintain the original auction dates. Will he succeed? Stark has to follow the law precisely, so that challengers can't ask for an appeal at the end. This is the main reason why it has taken so long. The constant appeals that requires attention by law.
What Tenor can do to expidite this and finish it off is to agree to pay shareholders the $500 million to end it. The auction can go on normally, peacefully and all will be happy forever after.
