Another month passes by and another takeover tale about Papa John's emerges.
I see hacks at the venerable Wall Street Journal have just trotted out a tale about a potential takeover of US-listed pizza chain Papa John's International.
Some of little old Betaville's chums got in touch last week to point out that Mickey Mouse, or rather the American media giant behind the creation of the cartoon character, had broken the story about TriArtisan Partners move to buy Papa John's International for $65 a share or around $2.7 billion.
It would appear ABC Money has just followed up little old Betaville's UNCOOKED alert from last Thursday about a second bidder emerging for Papa John's International after Apollo walked away from discussions.
According to ABC Money, private equity firm TriArtisan Partners is leading a consortium of investors that is in talks to buy the US-listed pizza chain for $65 a share or around $2.7 billion.
Papa John's International, the US-listed pizza chain, has come back under the spotlight amid a fresh round of takeover rumours.
People following the situation have heard fresh speculation Papa John's may have attracted a second suitor after Apollo reportedly withdrew its $64 a share offer for the company.
Some interesting shenanigans took place yesterday around little old Betaville's favourite US-listed pizza chain.
Two follow ups in 48 hours - you don't see that very often.
Another week, another follow up from one of little old Betaville's rivals.
