Back in 2010, Chief Executive Jay Allison of publicly traded Comstock Resources decided to sell a small oilfield in the town of Laurel, Mississippi. It was a modest operation, decades past its heyday, with just a few dozen wells pumping out a thousand or so barrels per day. Dallas-based Comstock was eager to jettison the field.A prospective buyer called Petro Harvester Oil & Gas, then a portfolio company of private equity giant TPG, commissioned a due diligence report on the assets.

This forthcoming change impacts all Google Workspace customers, Google said.Read more: https://trib.al/n17XX8I

Roughly a decade after Yonex released its first-ever tennis racket in 1969, the Japanese sports equipment company pursued one of the most impactful sports ambassadors in history, Billie Jean King. It wasn’t an easy courtship.Founder Minoru Yoneyama repeatedly sent rackets to the 12-time Grand Slam singles champion, and each time they were rejected. But countless hours of tinkering in the factory to appease one of tennis’ all-time greats led to the development of Yonex’s famed square-headed racket, which offered a larger sweet spot without sacrificing control, and King, along with her doubles partner Martina Navratilova, began competing with the company’s products in 1980.Read more: https://trib.al/2xlrftf
