Fairfax Financial Holdings may not be the only interested bidder in ailing smartphone maker Blackberry, say reports.
Following Fairfax’s preliminary deal with Blackberry to acquire the company for $4.7 billion, asset specialist Cerberus could lodge a counter-bid for Blackberry, sources told the Wall Street Journal. Cerberus is not considered one of the companies Blackberry approached for a possible sale earlier this year.
Fairfax announced last week its preliminary agreement with Blackberry. Reports say Blackberry could ink a more definitive deal with its largest shareholder by November 4.
The smartphone company can still make a deal with a competing bidder if Fairfax lowers its offer, say reports.
