BlackBerry co-founders, Mike Lazaridis and Doug Fregin, could be interested in buying back the company. The Canadian could start selling parts because Fairfax has failed to collect all the money necessary to complete the acquisition.

BlackBerry’s future still in the air. After the Canadian company was offering for sale, Fairfax has made the only firm offer to buy it for 4.700 million. However, the sale has been raised by divisions, as Fairfax seems to have managed to gather all the money enough. In this sense, original co-founders BlackBerry, Mike Lazaridis and Doug Fregin, have shown interest in acquiring the company, according to a regulatory filing seen by allthings .

Currently, both founders have 8% of the shares of the company (about 41.7 million shares), which are considering “the possibility of making a joint bid to acquire” all or most of the shares BlackBerry remaining.

To carry out this action, Lazaridis and Fregin have hired Goldman Sachs and Centerview Partners.

Other companies like SAP, Samsung or Cisco also sounded as interested in acquiring part of the company. Speculation about the possibility of buying the company piecemeal, has made the shares have risen by 5% over the past three days.
