ATIC Wants Full Ownership of GlobalFoundries
@ 2010/01/21GlobalFoundries is currently owned jointly by ATIC and AMD, but the situation is very likely to change soon, according to Reuters. ATIC is obviously discontent with its 65.8% stake of the foundry, and has recently filed an application with Germany’s cartel office to take over GlobalFoundries completely.

AMD might be interested in selling their shares, could ask higher prices as GF is doing well and has a very bright outlook, then turn around and use the cold hard cash to finish paying down the last of their debt early.
