On January 11, Banc of America and Countrywide announced a definitive merger agreement. Under the deal would receive .1822 of a share of Bank of America stock in exchange for each share of Countrywide.
SRM said, "Based on publicly available information we understand that even after the fourth quarter loss, the Company has a book value as of December 31, 2007 in excess of 20 dollars per share, in addition to its substantial franchise value as the leading mortgage business in the United States and its
insurance business."
