The Topps Co. on Tuesday said it has rescheduled its special
meeting to vote on a proposed $385 million buyout by Beverly Hills,
Calif.-based Tornante Co. LLC and Chicago private equity firm Madison Dearborn
Partners LLC to Aug. 30. Topps also said it is waiting to see results of Upper
Deck Co. LLC’s latest filing with the Federal Trade Commission to see if it
receives antitrust approval. Carlsbad, Calif.-based Upper Deck is offering
$425 million for New York-based Topps. The FTC review period is scheduled to
expire on Aug. 3. —David
