Xerox reaffirmed the $1.5B figure which we all knew was Enterprise Value (aka the whole flaming pile, debt and all), not Equity Value (likely $75-150M).
Meanwhile, Ninestar is quietly pocketing 5 to 10 cents on the dollar and thanking the heavens someone was desperate enough to take Lexmark off their books.
BTW - if Lexmark were taken to market today, as a distressed private sale (not a headline-driven M&A deal), it might fetch well under $75M, maybe even near zero, depending on the patience of someone crazy enough to buy it.
