Rejected!
But according to the MS website, there may be plans to upgrade "friendly offer" to "hostile takeover"

It was already semi-hostile to begin with, of course, since it was unsolicited and, apparently, not good enough.
I should probably shut up now, though, because my firm is representing Yahoo!...! (Which was not yet the case when I started the thread).

That's what I was thinking too!
I had been working at Chapters head office for 4 years prior to the VERY hostile takeover by Indigo. Thankfully I got into the goverment 2 months before the whole thing went down. Everyone who I worked with was fired within the first week. It was ugly.
My shares in Chapters - which hit a high of $36, went right down the toilet to about $3. Thankfully, I had cashed them out the year before at $36 to buy my house - or I would have lost a lot of money. |
