Best Buy shares fall as co. extends bid window for co-founder Richard Schulze |
| Washington Post - Dec 14, 2012 |
Best Buy shares fell on Friday after the struggling electronics retailer said it extended the window for co-founder Richard Schulze to make a buyout bid until after the holiday season.
Shares fell $2.16, or 15.3 percent, to $11.96 in midday trading Friday.
That erased most of the gains made Thursday when Best Buy shares jumped 16 percent on a report in the Minneapolis Star Tribune that Schulze would make a bid by the end of the week. The report cited unidentified sources.
But on Friday, Best Buy said Schulze can make his offer between Feb. 1, 2013 and Feb. 28, 2013. The original proposal deadline was this Sunday, 60 days after the due diligence period started.
The Minneapolis company said the extension is in the best interest of shareholders and gives Schulze and his investor partners time to review Best Buy’s full-year financial results.
