Worst Case Scenario in Covered Call trading

You do a covered call and the underlying company gets bought out for 100000...X.
With CC one does not expect to make any more than the credit one initiallly receives for the sale of the Call. In such a case it's to expect to earn the full credit, not more.
And: such mergers & acquisitions are usually very well known in advance via mandatory press releases and news, so one can act in-time accordingly.
So, I would not really count this as the worst-case scenario.
