Wenn ja, dann richtig. Wenn nein, SL.
Oder aber, das Gerücht ist nur eine aufgewärmte, schon drei Jahre alte Spekulation.

Apax rumoured to be building a stake in Adidas
- Apax is rumoured to have built a secret stake in Adidas, triggering speculation the private equity firm could eventually launch a takeover of the sports footwear giant.
Traders claim Apax, a private equity firm, secretly bought a 3.7pc stake in Adidas late last year. Since then, the gossip is that Apax has been quietly building its stake to just below 5pc.
Apax has shown an interest in the Germany company before. In 2007, reports suggested it was interested in buying a 25pc stake by way of a tender offer to Adidas investors at €50 share. Shares in Adidas, which have jumped 44pc in the past year, were trading at €42.07 in late morning trading in Frankfurt.
Market players said Apax may be interested in buying Adidas as there is the potential to unlock value by breaking the group up and spinning off its Reebok division. Apax declined to comment. Adidas could not be reached for comment.
