One relevant factor the article doesn't mention: some deals of this type include a breakup fee to hedge against the possible rejection of the deal by the government. (Or, for that matter, a party to the deal backing out at a late stage.)

The Verge article called the fee out. It's $4.025B, and Comcast offered to pay all of it (Disney & Fox's portions) in addition to the premium cash offer.
