A simple approach to this problem will be:
Rule out D and E because of S-V number mismatch.
Rule out C because, it uses the imperative form of the verb - be signed - inappropriately without the other paraphernalia required for employing the present subjunctive mood. In addition what does the pronoun them stand for? Is it for the investors or the bankers or both?
Rule out B because, it uses the wrong idiom – offer for byiung - rather than - offer to buy.
You are happily left with A, which avoids the wrong idiom, the S-V number disagreement and the inapt present subjunctive.

B is wrong and has to do with subjunctive mood
if the deal were concluded--> right form
if I were rich--> once again, it is not "was" because of subjunctive mood. This is a commonly tested GMAT question. Be careful
