What happened to the stock of Unisource worldwide when it went private?

When Unisource Worldwide went private in 2002, its stock was delisted from public exchanges, meaning it was no longer available for trading. The company was acquired by a consortium led by investment firms and subsequently transitioned to a privately held entity. As a result, investors received cash for their shares, and the stock ceased to exist as a public investment vehicle. This move allowed Unisource to focus on its long-term strategic goals without the pressures of public market scrutiny.
