Bidding battle expected for Boots
'Boots the Chemist', Alliance Boots, is considering opening up its books to a potential rival bidder to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKT), which has offered £10.2 billion (approximately Rs86,914.2 crore) for the UK-based cosmetics and pharmaceuticals retail leader.
UK's largest investor in private equity and Britain's largest charity, The Wellcome Trust and private equity group Terra Firma, which owns the Odeon and UCI cinema houses, are believed to have asked to see the books of Britain's biggest pharmacy chain, while the German owner of the Lloyds pharmacy chain, Celesio, may also throw its hat in the ring. Boots will decide by Friday whether to open its books for inspection to Wellcome and Terra Firma. The company has already opened its books to the potential buyer, which had teamed up with Boots' deputy chairman Stefano Pessina, who already owns 15 per cent of the company and wants to take it private.
Private schools are sold on online auctions
If asked, and she usually is, Donna Bates will buy the $9 roll of wrapping paper to support her niece's school.
She'd also drop $850 on four Red Sox tickets for the same worthy cause.
From a professional fundraiser's perspective, that's a home run.
This spring, Stoneridge Montessori School in Beverly is tapping out-of-state relatives like Bates by putting its annual auction items online. Instead of one night a year, the auction now lasts two weeks and is open to anyone with a credit card and a computer.
"In the past, I've always been called upon to baby-sit so mommy and daddy can attend the auction," said Bates, of Stratham, N.H. "I wouldn't have the ability to even bid on them, and that is the wonderful thing."
Stoneridge isn't the only North Shore private school using online auctions to capitalize on far-flung alumni, relatives and family friends.

La Tasca at centre of bidding war
Spanish theme bar and restaurant group La Tasca, which earlier this week was considering a £96 million cash offer from the Tragus Group, is now reeling from a surprising new offer. A bid vehicle called TFT, which consists of Iranian entrepreneur Robert Tchenguiz and Icelandic bank Kaupthing, has trumped Tragus' offer with an £98.6 million bid. The new bid would see La Tasca shareholders receive 188p in cash per share, up from the 185p per share offer from Tragus. AIM-listed La Tasca, which has its headquarters in Greater Manchester, has said it is considering its position. However, Tragus has declined to comment. La Tasca chief executive James Horler told the Manchester Evening News: "This changes things a little. We'll obviously sit down and have a look at the new bid. It shows the appetite for the business and our sector.
