Pending merger PLD:USA and DRE:USA

Research
1

One of my models, which attempts to avoid pending merger companies whether being acquired or acquiring, still holds PLD after a June 13 merger agreement announcement. I’ve used buy rules such as:

PendingCorpAct (#MANDA ) = FALSE AND PastCorpAct(#MANDA) = FALSE

or

IsNA(DaysFromMergerAnn,0) < 1

combined with opposite logic sell rules, and PLD is still held after weekly reconstitutions through August 8. Is this just a case of missing data for that company or is my approach incomplete?

Our dataset has a record for DRE dated June 13th, but there is none for PLD. So it’s a case of missing data.
