I wonder if any execs at grubhub might be True Believers(tm) in their industry and genuinely believe in the market and "synergies" enough from a deal like this to not immediately take out a big hedge or put a collar on their payout. I imagine investors wouldn't want to be stuck exposed to uber stock and would financially engineer away that exposure after a deal, but some of the executives could want that exposure?
