Planned Acquisition by Live Nation
If the planned merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster goes ahead, Ticketmaster shareholders will receive 1.384 shares of Live Nation common stock for each share of Ticketmaster stock they own. The acquisition has stirred antitrust alarms, since the new company would combine the most powerful ticket seller with the most powerful concert promoter.Reuters: Live Nation to buy Ticketmaster (February 10, 2009) New York Times: Live Nation and Ticketmaster Agree to Merge (February 10, 2009)TicketsNow
