Not too much new there that I see other than the increase to $85 M. One thing that's conspicuous by its absence is any talk of the second $75 M to up the investment to 40% ownership if Apollo so chooses. May mean nothing, but it's curious since other releases have made a big deal about it. Anaxagoras

Mary, what I find most interesting in the Yahoo release is the extent of Apollo's board membership involvement - this investment appears not to be passive. And since 1990, Apollo has invested about $10 billion altogether in different ventures, of which their investment in RRRR at $85 million represents almost 1% of all ventures funded for the last 9 1/2 years! That's not including of course, the other $75 million waiting in the wings!!! Maybe Leon knows a good investment when he sees one... : )
