BOSTON–A desire to cash out of Arnold Communications while the agency was still flying high led Ed Eskandarian some months ago to begin seriously considering his options.

Eskandarian would not comment when asked whether a letter of intent had been signed. ‘I’m not going to discuss any of this,’ he said.
