What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorInvesting.com reports, citing sources, that Apollo has submitted a non-binding bid for German energy firm Uniper. Lola Cruz is live on location. Lola.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, I'm outside a power station with a view of a very large pipe. Investing.com says the offer is non-binding, and the sources are anonymous.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI've covered wars with clearer paperwork. Non-binding means Apollo can walk away, like a man leaving a restaurant before the check.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe editor's angle is that this signals big deals across European energy infrastructure.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe data doesn't say what Apollo is offering, and nobody here will tell me.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentA security guard just asked me to leave. I told him I've been thrown out of better places. He's holding a clipboard. It's serious.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Lola. A bid with no obligation. Finally, a commitment level I understand. Back to the desk.
