Thomson in Exclusive Talks for TradeWeb

FRONT PAGE: ORGANIZATION & STRATEGY

Thomson Financial is in exclusive talks to acquire bond trading network and data provider TradeWeb for about $600 million, according to sources familiar with the situation.

The offer may include a $100 million earn-out arrangement, by which TradeWeb’s bank-consortium owners would only be paid the additional money if the network hits certain earnings targets, these sources say. The negotiation period is thought to last another few weeks.

TradeWeb and Thomson officials decline comment. Officials
