I think there's lots of things that can go wrong in an acquisition which fall under "agreeable terms could not be met". It's hard to tell if a letter of intent was drafted or signed which would clearly lay out the terms. If not then I'd say the acquisition announcement was made prematurely. If the terms hadn't been laid out then there's a whole slew of things that could cause it to go south on either side.
