Option update: Tribune (TRB) volatility collapses; Zell's buyout could close soon

Tribune (NYSE: TRB) is recently up $32.08.

CNBC's David Faber says the TRB deal could close very soon. TRB has expected its $34 per share sale to Sam Zell, private equity, debt holders and employees to be closed by year-end. The FCC granted temporary waivers to complete the deal. TRB announced this morning it intends to use cash on hand to reduce total amount of bridge loan to $1.6 billion from $2.1 billion. TRB January option implied volatility of 33 is below a level of 79 from Dec 6th and below its 26-week average of 38 according to Track Data, suggesting the close of the $34 deal is near.
