papsrus Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 Well, it will be for her bank account. I didn't even realize AOL was still around. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 She is taking 75% in cash and 25% in stock. Quote
GA Russell Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 I didn't even realize AOL was still around. This is the first time I've heard of AOL since they split from Time Warner. I guess AOL is going the MSNBC route. Quote
BERIGAN Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Well, AOL only lost 782 Million last year, so I imagine profits will go thru the roof after this deal! Quote
