UNITED doesn't exactly dump stake in Orbitz
The Elk Grove Township-based parent of United Airlines wants to sell
off no more than 9% of its ownership in Orbitz when the travel agency holds its initial public offering (IPO). Orbitz expects to begin trading in November, with IPO shares priced at $22. Look at the Orbitz S-1. Each of the five of the owners is planning to sell a part of their Orbitz stock, but they're holding on to most of their stock and will continue to own enough to jointly control the company after the IPO. Since United is in bankruptcy, it needs the court's permission to sell their bit, which is why there've been press releases, but their plans are no different from the other four airlines. |
