The US government proposed today a Final Judgment for review and<br>approval by the federal judge in the antitrust case against<br>Ticketmaster and LiveNation, involving control of North American<br>ticket sales via sales primarily accomplished via the internet. The<br>proposed Judgment, already agreed to by the parties to the case but to<br>come before the judge for review in terms of compliance with the<br>public interest, requires Ticketmaster and LiveNation to divest<br>themselves, within 60 days, of a license to operate the Ticketmaster<br>Host Platform software (including source code) in any manner the<br>Acquirer sees fit, as well as Paciolan, Inc, in its entirety.<br><br>The proposed order provides in part: "Defendants are ordered and<br>directed, concurrently with the closing of the Merger, to enter into a<br>Letter of Intent to divest Paciolan to Comcast-Spectacor in a manner<br>consistent with this Final Judgment. Within sixty (60)
calendar days<br>of closing the Merger, Defendants shall complete the divestiture of<br>Paciolan in a manner consistent with this Final Judgment to<br>Comcast-Spectacor or an alternative Acquirer acceptable to the United<br>States, in its sole discretion, after consultation with Plaintiff<br>States."<br><br>The entire proposed judgment can be viewed at<br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.justice.gov/atr/cases/f260100/260171.htm">http://www.justice.gov/atr/cases/f260100/260171.htm</a></span><br><br>Paul Lehto, Juris Doctor<br>____________________________________________________________<br>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br> <a ymailto="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org" href="mailto:governance@lists.cpsr.org">governance@lists.cpsr.org</a><br>To be removed from the list, send any message to:<br> <a ymailto="mailto:governance-unsubscribe@lists.cpsr.org"
