Founder and former co-CEO of BlackBerry, Mike Lazaridis, has indicated interest in buying the beleaguered smartphone maker.
Lazaridis has increased his stake in the company from 5.7% to 8% this year. According to a security filing, Lazaridis has asked Goldman Sachs and Centerview Partners to review his stake and a possible bid.
BlackBerry is currently weighing strategic alternatives and already has a $4.7 billion offer on the table from Fairfax Financial Holdings.
