Disney offer with stock = lower tax bill for larger LT Fox shareholders on cash portion only, potentially less antitrust concerns Comcast offer of all cash = higher tax bill for those LT Fox shareholders, but more beneficial to most shareholders as they receive cash, potentially higher anti trust concerns that may require divestments. The Murdoch's went with Disney's original lower offer in December because it was favorable to them and had less risk of being blocked but with the AT&T TW deal being approved the risks of Comcast's offer being blocked/divesting assets is lower so other shareholders would likely prefer an all cash offer vs 50/50 cash and stock. Sorry, I should have quoted properly. You said that they rejected Comcast months ago and went with Disney. But I was just pointing out that Comcast came back with another offer just last week after the AT&T/TW passing, which is why Disney responded again. Yeah I am aware. My point is they initially rejected them due to the anti-trust concerns and the taxes owed on their cash offer originally even though they offered more, and that is why they are basically shilling for the Disney offer as it will be more beneficial for their tax situation even with the addition of cash. With anti-trust concerns likely lower now, they will have a harder time convincing other shareholders that Disney's offer is superior with stock and cash vs an (assumed) equivalent offer from Comcast of all cash. --- New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees. <cite>SK8T3R215 posted [p:903632134] in looks like...

All that TLJ, BP and IW money gone when they had originally thought they had this shit in the bag for much less. Comcast must be laughing their assess off. --- "Scranton is great, but New York is like Scranton on acid. No, on speed. Nah. On steroids."
