FROM THE GLOBE AND MAIL ARTICLE:

"He rejected a suggestion from one shareholder that the company should raise the $300-million (U.S.) it needs to complete its business plan through a rights offering that would enable shareholders to buy one new share for every three they hold."

Presumably this means what?

-- this kind of deal will be offered to debtholders
as part of the refinancing?

-- it would take too much time?

-- he doesn't think the shareholders would participate?

-- the price would be too embarassingly low?

Also, (from Briefing)

<<<03:34 ET Lucent Tech (LU) 9.81: Alcatel (ALA 32.04) in advanced talks to acquire Lucent in all-stock deal valued at about $40 bln, or nearly 20% above LU's current value, reports the New York Times... Deal could be announced by early June>>>

ALA + LU + TSIX

That would be an interesting combination!

Would ALA have the money to do it?

Would they want to?

Namaste!
