CF Industries Rejects Agrium's Newest Takeover Bid
Associated Press -- NEW YORK -- November 6, 2009 -- CF Industries Holdings Inc. has rejected rival fertilizer maker Agrium Inc.'s sweetened takeover bid, saying the $4.5 billion bid significantly undervalues the company.CF Industries, which is based in Sioux City, Iowa, rejected the latest bid in a statement on Friday, a day after its Canadian rival had raised its unsolicited offer.
Agrium had raised its bid to $45 in cash plus one Agrium share per CF share. That's a $5 increase in the cash portion of the proposal. The total value of the deal is about $92.99 per CF share.
Agrium has pursued CF since February, but has faced repeated rejections.
