AUSTRALIA: Billabong shares plummet, Loses half its share market

TROUBLED retailer Billabong has lost half its share market value in just half an hour this morning following the announcement that takeover talks had ended.

Billabong was worth nearly $4 billion back in 2007, but now has a market captialization of under $100 million. The share dump was sparked by the announcement that Billabong was discussing possible debt deals and asset sales with two private equity firms after takeover talks ended.
