Music stops for Symphony, leaves Kewill’s heart to Francisco

News just in that Kewill private equity counter-bidder, Symphony (see Kewill: Francisco, 2, Symphony,1), has thrown in the conductor’s stick and is not to raise its 106p a share bid. So, it looks like private equity firm Francisco Partners' 110p a share bid wins the prize, which is expected to be awarded on 4th July (ironically, US Independence day!).
