From the press release:

"Topps had been publicly owned until 2007 when Madison Dearborn Partners and Tornante Company bought it for $385 million. Former Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner spearheaded that group and plans to stay on as chairman of the combined company�s board of directors. Michael Brandstaedter, will remain as President and Chief Executive Officer. The company will be traded on the NASDAQ exchange."

On a personal note, not a big fan of Eisner. He ran Disney for a long time. From all I have read about him he is difficult to work with. One story I remember reading: He wanted Tom Cruise to pay the role of Henry Hill in the classic movie "Goodfellas." Of course Ray Liotta ended up playing it and did an incredible job.

People do change. It will be interesting to see how this goes in the years ahead.

Peace.
