(click to enlarge) Why KNX wants to do this deal For KNX, this represents an opportunity to expand its access into the high volume of the south at a reasonable price. While USAK does have some significant long-term debt and liabilities, about $147 million worth, had KNX been able to acquire the company for $95 million, it would have been a steal .

KNX has stated the company wants to do the deal and is willing to come back to the table with another offer : Knight Chief Executive Officer Kevin Knight said he’d be prepared to “modestly increase” a $9 per share proposed offer price if additional value is identified in due diligence, according to an Aug. 28 letter.
