It really doesn't matter whether you accept now or not.

The deal CAN'T go through until a) Hong Kong Stock Exchange provides its approval for the deal to proceed, and b) The bidder's shareholder approve the deal to proceed.

The reason why the share price is languishing is because the HK exchange does not operate to a fixed timetable. . . .. .and approval has already taken longer to come through than was ever expected. This makes people worry that it may never be approved.

But the darkest hour is immediately before dawn.
