Who will be next?

The extract from one document on the web:

Several new developments have occurred ... One that I cannot help but mention ... is the fact that Candover and Cinven, two private equity firms, bought Wolters Kluwer in January 2003 and Bertelsmann Springer in August; the combination, to be known next year as Springer, controls 1350 journals. Writeups in economic journals that you can easily find on the Web point out that this purchase is an excellent investment because scientific publishing is so profitable. The investors, advised by Merill Lynch, intend to develop Springer's electronic assets and then sell the company in two years or so, receiving a handsome return on their investment.

The document is dated by October 2003.
The original context is much wider. Therefore I do not give a reference.

The dates in this extract may be not precise, they were known yet at that time.
More information about merging of KAP and Bertelsmann Springer can be found elsewhere.

The last sentence touched.
Two years "or so" passed. Maybe not yet.
Who will be the next owner?


Lyrics

When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again
(Walker / Sullivan)
Merle Haggard

Memories that linger in my heart,
Memories that make my heart grow cold.
But some day we'll live them all again,
And my blue moon again will turn to gold.

The lips that used to thrill me so,
Your kisses were meant for only me.
In my dreams I live them all again,
But my golden moon is just a memory.

When my blue moon turns to gold again,
When the rainbow turns the clouds away.
When my blue moon turns to gold again,
You'll be back within my arms to stay.

The castles we built of dreams together,
Were the sweetest stories ever told.
You know, maybe we can live them all again,
And our blue moon again will turn to gold.

When my blue moon turns to gold again,
When the rainbow turns the clouds away.
When my blue moon turns to gold again,
You'll be back within my arms to stay.
