BlackBerry Founders May Try To Take Over the Company

[wraggster]

"In a regulatory filing (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1070235/000119312513396388/d610704dsc13d.htm) on Thursday, Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin said that they were considering a bid for the 92 percent of the company that they do not own (http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/10/10/blackberry-founders-explore-bid-for-company/). ... Their potential bid joins a growing list of expressions of interest in the company, which recently reported a $1 billion quarterly loss caused by the market's rejection of new smartphones that were supposed to revive BlackBerry's prominence. Fairfax Financial Holdings of Toronto has made a conditional, nonbinding offer to buy the 90 percent of BlackBerry shares it does not own for $9 each. That would value the company at about $4.7 billion.
