ACE announced in June that JLL Partners Fund V, comprised of JLL Partners, Jay Shipowitz, ACE's ceo, and certain members of ACE's senior management team would acquire all outstanding shares of the company's common stock for a price of $30 per share. Calls to William McCalmont, ACE cfo, and Frank Rodriguez of JLL Partners were not returned.
