The cash payment gives shareholders a set amount if the merger closes, instead of leaving their outcome tied to ADT's future business results. Shareholder approval, regulatory clearance, and other closing steps could still prevent the payment. ADT can seek other offers briefly, but it also cannot pay dividends before closing without the buyer's consent. The set cash offer is the stronger signal.
