Getty Arb Getting Close

No, I didn't buy more Getty Images (Ticker: GYI)! In today's regulatory filing, the company listed key dates to watch out for. Today was a little road show by the company to pitch it's debt. Next week will be the shareholder vote, which I view as a non event. If everything goes to plan, which I think there's a very high probability, this deal should close in the last week of June or the second week of July at the very latest. I guess I'll start sniffing out for the next arb play.
