Midway Sold to Undisclosed Party
by Rainier on Dec. 1, 2008 @ 10:42 a.m. PST
It hasn't exactly been a big secret that Midway is in financial trouble and has been for a few years now. Earlier this year, not only did its CEO David F. Zucker resign, but also board member Shari Redstone (daughter of media mogul Sumner Redstone), while its losses mounted and it currently faces NYSE de-listing. It should come as no surprised then that Sumner Redstone has now sold off his 87% stake in Midway, for an abysmal $100,000, shares that were once worth almost $1 billion.
