Apollo Global approaches Xerox about possible acquisition
By Liana B. Baker, Greg Roumeliotis – (Reuters) – Buyout firm Apollo Global Management LLC (APO.N) has approached Xerox Corp (XRX.N) to express interest in a possible acquisition, casting new uncertainty over the U.S. printer company’s $6.1 billion sale to Japan’s Fujifilm Holdings (4901.T), people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
The development marks the latest twist in Xerox’s saga. On Tuesday, Xerox said its chief executive, Jeff Jacobson, and most of its board will step down to settle a lawsuit by activist shareholders Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason.
