Whittaker Acquisition: Whittaker to Buy Xyplex, Inc. from Raytheon for $117.5 Million, Boosting Communications Position -- March 4, 1996 ------- Anyone have an idea why Whittakeer purchased it for 117.5 mil 7 sold it for 35 Mil? Looks like maybe they either ran it into the ground, only sold MRVC the Wan part, or since they were restructing wanted to get out fast & before they messed up the co.'s value....and I'd like to think that Whittaker thinks that MRVC is worth a heap more than 35...or at least a little heap!<g>. later
