- Tuesday, January 1, 6:55 AM Knight Capital (KCG) shareholder Ann Jimenez McMillan has sued the firm over its $1.4B sale to Getco, saying that the $3.75-a-share price is "unfair and grossly inadequate." McMillan is seeking to stop the deal on its current terms, class-action status, and unspecified damages. 1 Comment
- Thursday, December 27, 2012, 7:15 AM Getco's $1.4B bid for Knight Capital (KCG) gets a key backer with the support of TD Ameritrade (AMTD) - a 7% owner of Knight. Combined with Jefferies' previously announced support and Getco's own shares, this brings to 45% the ratio of Knight's shares in favor of the deal. Blackstone - a 15.6% owner - also looks likely to back the sale. Comment! [M&A, Financials]
