EXCERPT:
Corporate career
The Carlyle Group was founded in 1987 by Stephen L. Norris and David M. Rubenstein. As they wanted the firm to outlive them, Norris and Rubenstein named the firm after the Upper East Side area hotel in New York City, the Carlyle Hotel, where they first met to discuss the idea. Norris and Rubenstein later hired Dan D'Aniello, William E. Conway, Jr. and Greg Rosenbaum.[3] Rosenbaum left in 1987[4]; Norris left in 1995[5]. The three remaining founders are reported to collectively own around a 50% interest in the group's general partnership. The rest of Carlyle is owned by a group of individuals, most of whom serve as managing directors, and by two institutional investors. Prior to co-founding the Carlyle Group, Mr. Norris was a senior executive at Marriott Corporation.

In 2008, Norris announced a memorandum of understanding with the SCO Group, a Unix and Linux software company involved in lawsuits against IBM, Novell, and others. Under the terms of the plan, Norris would purchase a controlling interest in SCO for $100 million.

In March 2009, Gulf Capital Partners, LLC, announced the appointment of Stephen L. Norris as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Gulf Capital Partners is a private equity firm based in Beverly Hills, California with offices in Dubai, Doha and New York.

SCO fires Darl McBride
EXCERPT:
No one has taken SCO's lawsuits against Linux-using companies seriously for years, but somehow or the other, SCO kept hanging on like a bad cold that you couldn't quite shake. That's because SCO CEO Darl McBride doesn't know the meaning of surrender. Time after time, McBride would come up with a new buyer or a re-take on a long dead anti-Linux legal claim, and SCO would stagger forward once more. Until now. This morning, October 19th, SCO filed an 8K with the SEC, which announced that the company had fired McBride.

It took them long enough.

To be more precise, SCO, under the order of the Bankruptcy Court, has "eliminated the Chief Executive Officer and President positions and consequently terminated Darl McBride." That leaves COO Jeff Hunsaker, CFO Ken Nielsen, and General Counsel Ryan Tibbitts nominally in charge. It's clear as glass though that Edward Cahn, the Chapter 11 Trustee and former chief U.S. district judge, is the one who's really calling the shots.

The little guy versus Cede & Co

The little guy versus Cede & Co 2003-12-16 18:20

by Flemming Funch

Remember DTC, the little known 20 trillion dollar company that holds most stocks in the world in the name of its subsidiary "Cede & Co"? Well, this fellow just found out about them when he was trying to locate $600 worth of stocks he thought he owned, after he was told that they had been transferred to Cede & Co. And he actually called them up, trying to get some answers. Without very much luck, as he's just an individual, rather than a "participant". Anyway, he continues looking for more information on the net. And finds good things, like this letter concerning a group of stock brokers and stock transfer companies who tried to withdraw from their contract with DTC,, and found out that they couldn't. DTC is a monopoly. And apparently they run it a bit like a black box, where even brokerage houses can't really learn all the details about what happened with their stocks. There are irregularities like stocks being oversold, meaning that more are being offered than all the actually outstanding shares of the given companies. Very interesting letter.

Darl McBride and Stephen Norris
EXCERPT:
"Linux-watch is reporting that while The SCO Group may go on to pursue its plans with a $100 million buyout, it will do so without its longtime CEO Darl McBride. Buried in the proposed MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between Unix vendor and Linux litigator SCO and SNCP (Stephen Norris & Co. Capital Partners) is the note that "upon the effective date of the Proposed Plan of Reorganization, the existing CEO of the Company, Darl McBride, will resign immediately.""

SCO fights off chapter 7
From the 'fight till the bitter end' files:

You gotta hand it to SCO, they've got an incredible knack for survival. I (like many others) was expecting SCO to enter into Chapter 7 bankruptcy this week - that means the existing Chapter 11 bankruptcy that protects SCO from creditors would be converted to a liquidation where creditors carve up SCO's assets.

As it turns out, SCO has another 'trick' up its sleeve -- pulling out a renewed agreement according to a report in the Salt Lake Tribune with investor Stephen Norris to pay off creditors and keep SCO's litigation claims against IBM, Novell and others afloat.

Groklaw reports that the new hearing set for July 16 with backup for July 27.

If the name Stephen Norris (no not Chuck) sounds familiar -- it should.

Norris came to the aid of SCO first in February of 2008 with a proposed $100 million lifeline. Norris is now back and his action - for now - is keeping SCO a going concern for at least another month.

SCO enterned into Chapter 11 protection in 2008 after losing a decision to Novell on the ownership of UNIX copyrights.The company had been delisted from NASDAQ in late December 2008, and has since been traded in over-the-counter "Pink Sheets."
