David MacGregor Quotations

I think Whirlpool will clear the (Federal Trade Commission).

Overall, (Maytag's) competitive position right now is pretty weak.

I think you'll probably see them move quickly on those things.

I think it's going to be very difficult for Ripplewood to beat it.

The $20 bid was a little bit of a surprise. It reflects a high level of conviction in synergies and sends a pre-emptive signal to other bidders.

Whirlpool has to put pressure on the Maytag board to focus on the superior value of its bid.

The market is speculating that the deal will take longer to close and will have more of a problem clearing FTC approval than Whirlpool is intimating.

The market is certainly more confident in the Whirlpool bid.
