MILAN (Thomson Financial) - Finmeccanica SpA declined to comment on a report
in the Wall Street Journal that it is in advanced talks to acquire New Jersey
defence company DRS Technologies Inc, said a spokesman.
The report said the acquisition is likely to include a 25 percent premium to
DRS's Wednesday closing price of $63.74, which equates to a market
capitalisation of about $2.6 billion.
