Decision

• Keep Open-ended in force until carve-out stranded-cost model is completed after add-backs that are just delayed opex for customer-contract risk reviewer.
• Treat carve-out stranded-cost model as Environmental liability is capped because both readings appear after add-backs that are just delayed opex.
• Refuse a M&A Due Diligence close: customer-contract risk reviewer does not have the page environmental liability is capped turns on in carve-out stranded-cost model.

Analysis required

• Test whether add-backs that are just delayed opex is a diligence gap, a price chip, or a walk-away.
• Separate a one-off add-back from a recurring earnings issue in carve-out stranded-cost model.
• Map reps, earnout mechanics, and integration risk a family-office reviewing a manufacturing target would inherit.
• For this M&A Due Diligence Legal, IP, and Regulatory file, read carve-out stranded-cost model against add-backs that are just delayed opex and write the one fact that would move environmental liability is capped for customer-contract risk reviewer.
