Despite initial resistance from Tribune Publishing's management, financial logic suggests that Gannett will ultimately succeed in acquiring the company.
Consider that Gannett's $815 million offer is a 60 percent-plus premium on the trading value of Tribune Publishing. Tribune's board has a fiduciary duty to consider the proposal (as it has indicated it will). And the board is obliged to accept the offer unless it has a plausible alternative for similarly increasing shareholder value.
