【美林公司 Merrill Lynch & Co.】
已有94年历史的美林公司(Merrill Lynch & Co.)周日晚间同意以大约440亿美元
的价格将自己出售给美国银行(Bank of America Corp.)。在过去的15个月中，美林和
雷曼兄弟的资产负债表上均拥有数百亿美元的高风险、流动性不良的资产，负债权益
比率超过了20倍。2007年年中信贷危机袭来之时，这些资产价值一路下滑，难以轻易
售出，严重影响了两家公司的缓冲资本。最近，雷曼兄弟的资产负债表规模高达6,000
亿美元，而美林公司更是达到了9,000亿美元。

Mattson Technology to cut 80 people’s jobs in ‘cost alignment’
Mattson Technology Inc. will lay off 80 people to save money. That’s
about 14 percent of its workers.
The Fremont company (NASDAQ: MTSN), led by CEO and President David
Dutton, makes equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing. It called the
layoffs and other money saving measures a “cost alignment plan.”
Half the workers Mattson will let go are in manufacturing jobs. Mattson
started notifying employees they’d be losing their jobs today.
Mattson hopes to save $6 million a year through these cuts and other
measures.
Dutton’s salary at Mattson is $450,000 per year. He did not get a bonus
for 2007, nor was his salary raised for 2008 because of company
performance.
Dutton’s total compensation for 2007 was $922,727, according to
Mattson’s proxy card.
