tfs sold for amex dnatron roo roo, page-9

Turn my back for a minute and see what happens. So a US$630 M sale price. Considerably less than first intimated but close to the US$700 M I was advised was a likely price some weeks ago after various investigators had been sniffing around the bottom drawers suggesting there were a lot of liabilities. Now Platinum simply takes the lot so goodbye Textron? They may still take a stake in the float that will now be orchestrated through Platinum's auspices probably. At last we should hear some clear pronouncements from TZL later today. Will they still float later this year? What new license deals are in place? Exciting times, but not as exciting as if they had taken the TFS monster by the horns. Maybe we can all sleep better now.
