Hmm, unnamed sources always a problem. I also do not know the names of those that wrote it (ANUPREETA DAS AND GINA CHON ).
One thing that jumps out at me is "leveraged buyout", this only can occur if Providence Equity Partners have excellent credit, considering the current credit market.
An article at http://www.projo.com/business/content/HASBRO_BUYOUT_TOPOFF_06-25-10_PPJ063N_v12.15a794b.html
States quote:
The Pawtucket-based toymaker on Thursday issued a formal statement confirming the talks initiated by Providence Equity Partners but noted “its board of directors determined that there was no interest in pursuing such a transaction.”
IAE it appears clear that if the entire company was purchased, all lines not earning enough would be terminated. |

Hasbro denies there's anything there... Of course, WotC denied the existence of 4E just a few months before announcing it, so it's a personal call for how much you want to trust them. |

So that is what Paul was talking about on FB.

Preliminary talks between private equity and Hasbro to take the latter private? Hope they're rich geeks who love DnD. http://bit.ly/b5b9mw
