Thursday, July 2, 2009 Extended Talks Have Yet to Produce a Deal for AIG's Asset Mangement Biz The Wall Street Journal's Jenny Strasburg and Liam Preven report that discussions between AIG and a team of bidders led by Franklin Resources regarding the sale of AIG's asset management business have yet to result in a deal. The monthlong exclusive negotiating period ended in mid-June and was extended for another two weeks. Though there's still a chance that a deal may be reached with the bidders, the deal price and terms "are in flux," according to the report. Last month, Bloomberg reported that Franklin and Crestview Partners were in joint discussions to buy the AIG unit. Printed from: MFWire.com/story.asp?s=21959 Copyright 2009, InvestmentWires, Inc.
