Kerkorian EYES Chrysler
Shares of Daimler Chrysler (NYSE: DCX) closed up $3.73 or 3% to $84.80, after billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian offered to buy Chrysler for $4.5 billion. His bid is contingent upon reaching a deal on a new labor agreement with the United Auto Workers union. He would offer ownership stakes to the union and its membership as well as Chrysler management were he to buy it. The offer is contingent on reaching an "equitable arrangement" with DaimlerChrysler for it to assume some of the unfunded pension liabilities and health care costs of Chrysler retirees.
