A tender offer is valid only for a limited period, usually open for up to 20 business days. If a tender offer is accepted by the expected number of shareholders, a merger transaction can be closed in a short period.
The days and weeks in between the contract signing and the closing (which date is usually specified in the contract) is referred to as the escrow period.. It usually lasts between 30 and 60 days (or less if you pay all cash for the property).
