 Disney
Rejects Comcast Offer
Cable
provider Comcast Corp. is not interested in raising its bid for Walt
Disney Co. to match the current stock price of the media
conglomerate, a source close to the company said on Tuesday. The
move dampened expectations that Comcast may significantly raise its
$48.8 billion bid for Disney. Comcast is also leaning against
running a shareholder consent solicitation to replace all or part of
Disney's board while Disney's stock price continues to trade at
these levels, the source said. Disney rejected Comcast's
unsolicited all-stock offer on Monday, noting the bid represented a
15 percent discount to its latest stock price.

$66 billion.
