  1. This is actually pretty old news Tim. Infor along w Golden Gate acquiring Lawson has been in the works for a couple of months. I thought everyone knew this one

    [From Mr. HIStalk] The offer was old (March 11). The acceptance of that offer is new.

  2. I agree with John@chilmark! This is a very old subject. I posted on HIStalk about two years ago that Lawson was ripe for takeover, just didn’t expect it to be a investment group.

    TPD!
