<prompt> Human: I have read that the Solarcity stockholders will be transferred to Tesla stock in this buyout; is this an automatic process or does my friend need to do something by a certain deadline to ensure the stock transfer? Is there going to be paperwork coming in the mail? Are there alternative courses of action which may be more profitable for my friend? What are the chances that the Tesla acquisition will actually happen? Has it already happened? When will it happen? If the buyout does not happen, what next? What advice would you have regarding Solarcity stock in the event the deal does not go through? Thank you for reading! Advice would really set my friends mind at ease and would be greatly appreciated! :  <response>: 1. Its automatic .2. There likely wont be paperwork.3. There likely could be an alternative or two, but its likely extremely complicated and akin to gambling.4. The chances seem pretty good. It hasnt happened yet and the actual date of the stock merge is yet to be determined.5. Whats next is up to you.
