While a bid for STC Plc is likely, a bid from a computer company is unlikely, but in that unlikely event, Fujitsu Ltd’s agreement with the company requires that STC should sell its 20% stake in ICL to a company acceptable to Fujitsu, the Financial Times reports: the only possible companies that might conceivably bid for STC and fall foul of the rule are Siemens AG, which would likely be acceptable to Fujitsu anayway, and AT&T Co – and with AT&T being bes’ friends with Amdahl Corp, it too might well be an acceptable partner to the Japanese firm, which in fact is most likely paranoid about one of its bigger brothers back home muscling in to try and spoil its cosy party.
