It's basically a transaction between two old friends.

We were very pleased with the results. We had a number of very interested buyers in this business. This is obviously much, much more attractive than the IPO.

We're obviously undervalued, but I'm sure most of my peers would say the same. I think the final test [for us] will be performance. I'm very comfortable that this reshaping will continue to enhance our growth rates.

We either had to exit the business or become a much larger player. When they [purchased U.S. Foodservice], we figured this was one of the businesses that we would be better out of.

The more people I know the more problems I have

Making friends is easy, losing them is what's hard.
