Primary Evidence
"Chicago real estate investor Sam Zell had been assisting Novelly in negotiating with the banks holding the defaulted Clark debt. Zell kept the banks at bay, assuring them that Novelly would not wind up with control in AOC Holdings. For his part in the deal Zell negotiated the right to buy, and did buy, a 6 percent stake in Horsham for US$20 million."
