Interesting...read this article: https://www.eenewsanalog.com/news/comment-glofo-gets-warm-words-how-long
"I remember once being told to watch out when a company redecorates its headquarters' entrance lobby because it could indicate the business is being put up for sale. The paint job would be the company's way of seeking to enhance the perceived value of the business for executives that might visit for negotiations."
Painting the walls blue
No one mentioned anything about a "purchase", that's why the term "acquisition" was used.
Why would Samsung purchase GF
Not a purchase, ATC would pay Samsung to take GF, ala IBM Fab9/10 sale to GF
How does that article indicate it is a "false rumour"? It seemed to indicate that there was a possibility of GF discussion. Who knows, it was all closed door stuff, but certainly within the realm of possibility given Samsung's ever expanding foundry business, already existing compatabilities and the "less-than-interested" approach ATIC has been taking towards GF since Suntan Tom took the reins.
False Rumor.
