the deal might fall through have spooked investors motivating some to submit their acceptance of the deal. The [Financial Times](http://www.ft.com/cms/s/afafa7b8-3b27-11dc-8f9e-0000779fd2ac,%5Fi%5FrssPage=cbad994c-3017-11da-ba9f-00000e2511c8.html?ref=hypebot.com) speculated that this week’s heavy trading means some stock may not be registered in time for the new owners’ approval of the deal to even count.

Its hard, however, to imagine that either Citi will extend their deadline or Terra Firma will find newer although perhaps more expensive funding. One can only imagine that previously interested parties like WMG and Jim Fifield are watching and ready to pick up the pieces of a failed deal or pick the bones of a completed one.

As of close of the London exchange today the stock had rebounded [1% to 250.24p](http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=EMI.L&ref=hypebot.com) about in the middle of its 52 week range.
