In a regulatory filing on Thursday, Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin said that they were considering a bid for the 92 percent of the company that they do not own.

caused by the market's rejection of new smartphones that were supposed

has made a conditional, nonbinding offer to buy the 90 percent of
BlackBerry shares it does not own for $9 each. That would value the
company at about $4.7 billion
