hostile takeover

Correct me if I'm wrong,
Why would a juggernaught like PB (or whoever the major national is)let a p%&*ant company like CUE get in its way of 12TCF. Isn't the business world full of big fish eating little fish? Now perhaps FIRB approval can stop a hostile takeover of CUE from PB but they cant stop them from doing it under the guise of MEO.To me looks like an easy way of getting another 7.5% of Artemis for both MEO and PB.
Dont want to be crossramping here but i wouldnt at all be surprised if I saw CUE's volume go through the roof in the coming weeks.
Thoughts anyone?
