BORAL FUTURE for the-small investor?

The future of Boral appears bright .The independent valuation of Boral is around $8 to $9
It also has access to a few billion dollars in cash.

Where typically does the small investor stand ,when Seven holdings has a controlling interest in the shares and informs the market it will not be paying $7.40 for a share over the next 12 months.It also can increase by 3% its holdings every 6 months

Is it likely that the share price will reduce, liquidity will be less ,and through whatever mechanism used by new management ,the small investor could be worse off. eg perhaps the assets are stripped from Boral

I don't require a crystal ball answer .
I would really like to know how market forces will typically treat stocks in this scenario,
If you have any guesses about the Boral share price in a year or two, feel free to guess.
Im feeling inclined to take the offer
