Ok. Let me venture a prediction.

One Equity Partners is going to win. Why??

Reason 1. With handing over part of the shares to OEP, Ford can continue to be "owners" of the respective companies, but the two will also cease to be subsidiaries. This will take away a big black hole in Ford's books.

Reason 2. Because the unions at the factories do not want a management change. A management change is likely to result in retrenchment.

Reason 3. Remember opposition No. 1 to Mittal's takeover of Arcelor?
