YEAR IN REVIEW — 2006: BANTA ON THE LOOSE

The biggest shocker occurred at the end of October, when RR Donnelley seemingly came out of nowhere and reached a deal to acquire Banta for $52.50 per share, a total of roughly $1.3 billion. The month-long negotiations were kept air tight and the announcement came on the heels of Burton formally withdrawing his $50 a share proposal. Streeter was to remain with the company during the transition phase before leaving to pursue other interests.
