Arthur T. Demoulas’s offer to buy the Market Basket grocery chain is the only bid left on the table

and both sides of the family are furiously negotiating to complete a sale and end the daily losses crippling the company, according to people familiar with the matter.

The negotiations are fluid, but the two sides remain engaged and are working nearly around the clock to hammer out a deal, these people said. The company is losing millions of dollars a day, severely undermining the value of the grocery business the Demoulas family has been fighting over for three decades.

By the way... You may already know this (or know that I'm wrong), but if you have multiple browsers installed (firefox, Chrome, etc), you can probably get whatever number of free articles per month for each browser.
