Aames Financial Corp. said directors Gerald Ford and Howard Gittis--who joined when financier Ronald Perelman and Ford bought 9.9% of the consumer finance company--quit last week. Los Angeles-based Aames also said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that the lender “is currently in discussions with several entities, including Golden State Bancorp Inc., concerning various alternatives.” Perelman and Ford, partners in Golden State Bank, in March agreed to buy 2.78 million Aames shares, which may have signaled an eventual attempt to buy the company.
