i-flex shares are trading cheaper than the Oracle buyback price. The futures are even cheaper than spot. Why ?

There is a lot of confusing news about i-flex solutions stock. Oracle offered Rs. 2100 per share but the market fell to 1750 defying logic. Additionally the futures are trading even cheaper than spot further defying logic. The only way I can stitch a consistent story, based on what I see on the internet is:
1) First logic is that selling through stock exchange is tax advantageous compared to tendering shares to Oracle. This is bizzare. But if this is true, it explains why spot is at a discount to tender price. PErhaps no one wants to risk the refund from the taxman.
2) Second logic is that once Oracle acquires 90% controling stake, it can bully the remaining 10% minority shareholders. This bullying can for instance be in the form of giving preferential allocations to itself for further shares or call options, while not offering the same to minority shareholderss (thus diluting them).
If this is true, this is even more bizzare. Is there no protection for minority shareholders ?

I’ve tried a lot of websites and books but none of them break it down fully for someone just getting familiar with this. I basically understand the idea of hedging, but I get a bit lost when people talk about spreads and basis and most of all, I don’t understand the link between physical commodities and all these bits of paper that are apparently traded on futures exchanges.

I initially set a stop 1. below my bought price. As my plan goes in my favor, I move my stop to bought price. Should move my stop 1. below relative support? Is that the best strategy? Opinions please
