It's a political merger, so it doesn't really matter. If KE wanted to absorb OZ, they would try to see if OZ goes bankrupt or not. Right now, this is being pushed forward by the authorities so there is not much they can do about it. There are some conditions they will have to follow which will have to make the merger acceptable, and probably look "fair". How this all gets executed is a whole different matter.
