What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReuters reports exclusively that Apollo has submitted a non-binding bid for German energy firm Uniper, citing sources. Skip Waverly is live outside a power plant.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSkip?
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThanks, Hank! I'm standing outside a very large, very closed energy facility in the dark.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentReuters says the bid is non-binding, meaning nobody has to commit to anything. Like my last four relationships.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentSources say Apollo wants Uniper. Benzinga calls it major deal activity in European utilities.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentUniper has not commented, and neither has the security guard, who just told me to leave.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSkip, is the guard actually from Uniper?
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentNo, Hank, he works for the gas station across the road.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentBut he is very protective of his parking lot, and honestly, so is Apollo of its deals, I assume.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentSorry. I've been here since four, and a pigeon just landed on my microphone. I'm naming him Gerald's cousin. He seems bullish on utilities.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe have already retired Gerald. Please do not expand the family. What do we actually know about the bid?
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentOnly what Reuters says. It's non-binding, sources describe it, and nothing is final. No price, no timeline from me, because I don't invent numbers.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI barely have a dry sock.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentBut Hank, I think this is the story that finally gets me promoted. Or at least gets me indoors. Is the desk warm?
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentIs there a chair?
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThere is a chair. It is occupied by my ambition, which is also non-binding. Thank you, Skip. Stay dry.
