Description:
May 15, 2007 - Thomson (TOC) has agreed to buy Reuters (RTRSY) for $17.2 billion (£8.7 billion) to create the world's biggest financial news and data firm, the companies said on Tuesday.The takeover has the support of the Reuters Founders Share Company, which has the power to block a change of ownership, but the deal still needs regulatory clearance and shareholder approval, the companies said in a joint statement.
Good time to buy Thomson? Reuters? How does this affect the Dow Jones/Newscorp talks? Are there other possible merger candidates?
