Business: The former co-chair of RIM returns as the White Knight (after arsonist?). Mike Lazaridis now owns 8% of the capital of the manufacturer and has hired financial partners to discuss a buyout.
founder and former co-leader of the Canadian manufacturer RIM, Mike Lazaridis, was sidelined in 2012 (in exchange for $ 12 million), and then left the company completely in May 2013. However, it has not forsworn to mingle the fate of RIM.
More importantly, the former leader has enlisted the services of two financial partners, Goldman Sachs and Centerview Partners, to consider a possible acquisition of RIM. A proposal that would be in competition with Fairfax Financial, whose ability and genuine desire to redeem the manufacturer smartphone raise doubts.
RIM spokeswoman confirmed that the company was considering alternatives to those of Fairfax offers, without providing further details and therefore not whether Mike Lazaridis had already made a proposal.
