dark cloud over travelocity deal

TRAVELOCITY shareholders have been advised to reject an
offer of $23 per share from parent company Sabre.

Sabre, which already owns 70% of the on-line agency, hopes
to buy the remaining 30% of the company.

But a special committee acting on behalf of Travelocity’s
board of directors claims the $23 price tag is inadequate.

Sabre plans to carry on with is acquisition plan regardless.
A statement issued by the company said: “The offer is not conditioned on Sabre
or any of its subsidiaries obtaining any financing or the approval of
Travelocity’s board of directors.”
