Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

The Second LOI provides for an exclusivity period of 40 days, which is expressly subject at all times to the fiduciary duties of the Board, including its ability to consider, negotiate or respond to unsolicited bona fide proposals, and which is expressly subordinate to the Company’s existing contractual obligations to third parties, including its obligations under the Initial LOI. asserted
