VNU Update
VNU has officially ended its quest to merge with IMS, bowing to the demands of shareholders. And while VNU vows to remain independent, shareholders may still insist on a few things:
They had demanded that VNU -- with four core activities in marketing information, media measurement, directories and business-to-business publishing -- sell a big division and return more cash to investors instead.
Will the 1 billion Euros returned to shareholders as part of exiting the merger be enough to stave off the sale of a big division?
