Firms Open Bidding for RadioShack

Jun 1, 2010, 1:44 PM by Eric M. Zeman

At least two companies have placed bids to purchase RadioShack, which earlier this year hired Goldman Sachs to help it explore future strategic possibilities. One of the entities bidding for RadioShack is BlackStone Group, a private equity firm. The second firm has not yet been named. BlackStone's bid is valued at about $3 billion, based on RadioShack's $21.51 stock price of about $21. Earlier this year, reports suggested that Best Buy would make a move to purchase RadioShack to help it expand its mobile retail strategy.
