Introduction
Lester Electronics is a consumer and electronics parts distributor that markets its products to OEM specifications. Shang-wa has an exclusive supply agreement with Lester Electronics. The CEO of Shang-wa is wishing to retire and has no plans for the company's management and future. Moreover, Shang-wa is being pursued for a hostile takeover by Transitional Electronics Corporation (TEC). Neither company is happy about the possibility of a takeover.

This would give them the growth needed to fend off Avral's plans to takeover Lester. It will also secure their investment in Shang-wa.

Combined with BellSouth, the third-largest local phone company in the country, AT&T will pick up another nine states in the Southeast to provide service in a total of 22 states. The...
