Acer founder says open to takeover amid stock price slide


Frankly speaking: Acer's own founder seems to think the company would be a poor acquisition as any potential buyer would get, in his own words, an "empty shell".

TAIPEI: Acer Inc founder Stan Shih said he would welcome a takeover of the struggling Taiwanese computer maker after a steep fall in its share price, while warning any potential buyer would pay a heavy price. 

"Welcome," Shih told reporters in response to a question about whether Acer would be open to a takeover. He added however that any buyer would get an "empty shell" and would pay dearly.
