Control Data Corp is for sale – but it is not the company’s board that is shopping the company around: a remarkable advertisement appeared in Electronic News last week saying Control Data Corp an attractive acquisition candidate – 1) Annual sales of approximately $4 billion; 2) Common stock selling at a substantial discount to book value; 3) State-of-the-art technology in several highly successful businesses; 4) Current management unable to increase shareholder value, and it signs off Written Communication only to Printing Resources Inc, 311, East 71st Street, New York, NY 10021 – if anyone is interested.
