Hoechst bids for rest of Celanese
Article Abstract:
Hoechst AG of Germany has launched a C$450 million bid to acquire the rest of Montreal, Quebec-based Celanese Canada Inc. While the German congolmerate said minority shareholders owning about half of the 44% stake have already agreed to the offer, the bid would have to be accepted by two-thirds of the minority shareholders to proceed any further. This means that dissatisfied investors who think the C$25-a-share offer is too low can still derail the deal.
