Sources indicate that investors are watching Magnum's stock price as they prepare to make a bid decision.

Unilever holds a 19.9% interest in Magnum and intends to withdraw in the next five years.
One of Reuters' sources informed that both Blackstone and CD&R are awaiting the company's summer sales report prior to making a decision. A large segment of Magnum's yearly income occurs in the summer.
