In Brief: AT&T Capital Exec Retires Before Merger

AT&T Capital Corp. chairman Thomas C. Wajnert retired last week, less than a month before the company is to be acquired by a Canadian finance company.

Newcourt Credit Group agreed in November to buy AT&T Capital, which specializes in leasing and Small Business Administration lending.

"In anticipation of AT&T Capital's exciting business combination with Newcourt Credit Group, I think this is a good time for me to pursue other interests in my life," Mr. Wajnert said in a press release.
