The **CEO of SFX** has offered to **take the EDM giant private**. Today's move is likely to set off a bidding war that includes **Live Nation** and others.

Controversial SFX Entertainment CEO Robert Sillerman has made an offer to take the electronic dance music conglomerate private at a value of about $440 million. The announcement sent the stock up as much as 26%, but still below the $4.75 per share in cash offered by Sillerman.

Shareholders and Wall Street will likely demand price which could open up the bidding to all. Live Nation, AEG and an Irving Azoff led conglomerate would all seem possible buyers/
