MICC Down Big on Merger News

Posted on Tuesday 4 July 2006



Actually, the title of this article should have been, MICC down on lack of merger news. Back in January, the company soared after it said that it was conducting a strategic review after it said that it had received a “high number” of unsolicited offers. Since then, the company said that it had been conducting due diligence, and that a promising offer had since fallen apart. The WSJ reported that this potential suitor was CHL, and that they were prepared to offer $5.3 billion for the company. MICC also said after the news that it remains “confident” in its future as an independant company. MICC closed at $33.33 on Monday, down over 12 points on the day.
