If a petition is filed with the appropriate circuit court, the sale of the facilities shall be closed within 90 days from the date of the issuance of a final order of the circuit court (or from the date of the decision of an appellate court if such matter is appealed). If the closing is not completed within such 90 days due to the failure of the primary electric supplier to close for any reason, the primary electric supplier’s exercise of the option shall be void and it shall thereafter have no further right to purchase the distribution facilities covered by the escrow notice.
