Matsushita's blockbuster
Article Abstract:
Matsushita Electric Industrial Company Ltd became the first industrial company to issue global bonds on Jul 14, 1992, when it decided to offer 10-year bonds in the international markets. The global bonds targeting US, European and Asian investors are intended to raise $1 billion to pay off short-term obligations in the remaining $2.1 billion debt resulting from Matsushita's acquisition of MCA Inc. Financial experts believe that other Japanese companies will follow Matsushita's lead to raise funds to cover equity warrants and convertible bonds.

These photographs reveal that Triton possessed a terrain surface not unlike that of the cantaloupe fruit. Scientists have attributed this unusual terrain structure to intense fracturing caused by thermal stresses.
