hypa Press Release: 05 November 1997 at 0900 EST
hypa can now categorically rule out any bid for the MCI telecoms company. We've given it a lot of deep thought and decided there are enough people bidding for it already. We don't want to follow any old crowd.
It took us a little while to count up all our assets, and while the current shareholders of MCI may have been tempted by our potential offer of $18.42, two gerbil's, six oranges, a loaf of bread and half a fish between them, in the end we decided to keep it for ourselves. We're selfish like that.
