ERIDANIA BEGHIN-SAY EXTENDS AMERICAN MAIZE OFFER
Date: 28 March 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Eridania Beghin-Say, a French food processing company, said yesterday that it had extended its $440 million offer for all of the outstanding stock in the American Maize-Products Company until April 10. The company's Cerestar USA Inc. unit began a tender offer in late February to buy American Maize's class A and B stock at $40 a share. That offer was to expire last night, but the company's class B shareholders have until April 10 to buy new shares at $40. If they fail to do so, Eridania can buy those shares and thus win control of the company. On Friday, a state judge in Maine declined to issue a preliminary injunction to stop American Maize from issuing the new shares. The class A stock closed up $3.125 at $39.625 yesterday, while the class B stock closed up $3 at $41.
