That's a WSJ article, where without a subscription you can only read the first paragraph. 
Here, as an alternate, is a different news organizations article on the same subject, which requires no subscription to read:

Not surprising. Arne talked about it last year. I think there's even a thread on it.
Cheers.

Would this stop the merger?
Did you post in the wrong thread by mistake? There's already a thread in this forum on the other bid for SPG.
