Hutchinson Technology Inc. (HTCH)

[Snooze]

Seems like FTC may have discovered some TDK practices that it may be interpreting as anti-competitive...
Could mean TDK won't be allowed to buy HTCH
Then again, if the deal falls through due to fraud or unlawful activity discovered at TDK, I would think HTCH would be entitled to a meaningful break-up fee...
I would guess that litigation between HTCH and TDK is highly likey if FTC kills the deal due to price manipulation at TDK and NHk... After all, HTCH has undoubtedly shown EVEREYTHING to TDK including product plans, pricing etc and has probably been impacted in current sales with existing customers due to the impending deal... Seems rife for a claim if you ask me...
I am not a lawyer though and everyone should do their own analysis and draw their own conclusions.
