Once again, the man with his finger on the pulse of business, David Johnstone alerted me to the from page of the Wall Street Journal:
"Mars Inc. announced Monday an agreement to acquire Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. for about $23 billion with financial backing from Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. in a deal that would remake the global confectionery landscape.
The deal, which comes to $80 a share, would unite two icons of the U.S. candy business: Wrigley, maker of the eponymous chewing gum, and Mars, the closely held company behind Snickers chocolate bars and M&M's."
Oh the summer is looking busier and busier.
