Report: NWA enlists bankers to bid on Delta

[Redbone]

The article you got those quotes from was in the Financial Times. Why don’t you just word it as the article did? It read as follows:

"Evercore will receive an upfront fee of $275,000, a monthly retainer of $75,000, a $3m fee when Northwest emerges from bankruptcy and $2m if it closes an "M&A transaction".

Thus, even this article leaves open the option of BEING ACQUIRED.

FYI:

M%A = merger or acquisitions (as CLEARLY stated in the article)

Is there some part of this sentance you are having trouble with?
"Should Northwest complete a merger or acquisition of another carrier, Evercore will receive another $2 million on top of that."
FYI: this was printed in REUTERS, AP, WSJ, along with the
FT.

anything other clarification needed?

Maybe I am misunderstanding you? Didn't you imply that NW is not looking to BE acquired? Perhaps I just misread your earlier post.

If you are, in fact, implying that NW is not looking to BE acquired, then the differences between the 2 sentences would make a world of difference.
