And it's a public-to-private transaction, not a takeover.
- ledude 10y ago"In business, a takeover is the purchase of one company (the target) by another (the acquirer, or bidder). In the UK, the term refers to the acquisition of a public company whose shares are listed on a stock exchange, in contrast to the acquisition of a private company." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeover https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeover http://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/takeover.asp http://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/takeover.asp
