Shares were up nearly 20 per cent for TV ratings giant Nielsen yesterday after it announced it would be going private in a $16bn (£12bn) deal, including debt. Led by Brookfield Asset Management and Elliott Management, the deal offers $28 per share, a premium of 60 per cent since early March. It comes just days after the firm batted away a takeover bid from a group of private equity firms, who had offered $25.40 per share.
