Not yet confirmed against a primary source

  • Confirm the specific closing price of Omnia on September 10 versus September 11, 2026, to reconcile the 30.98% premium (app.dealroom.co referencing R102.69 on September 10) versus the 14.3% premium (sahi.com referencing September 11 closing). These different reference dates may explain the discrepancy.
  • Verify Solar Industries' exact global manufacturing footprint count (11 countries per app.dealroom.co vs. 25 nations in combined entity per livemint.com vs. 40+ facilities globally per cnbcafrica.com) to establish which represents current operations and which represents post-acquisition plans.
