Never mind.
Borders Group is "reevaluating" the $250 million of convertible senior notes it was planning to issue today, which was reported here
yesterday. The cause: "shareholder feedback." Besides the reevaluation,
the company is considering financing alternatives, it said.
Several groups of shareholders had various reasons for questioning the notes, today's Wall Street Journal reported. These groups include shareholders who want the company to be sold, shareholders who want a merger with Barnes & Noble and shareholders who feared their stakes would be adversely affected.
