Yara has received notification from Terra Industries
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oslo (2010-03-10): Yara International ASA (Yara) has received a notification
from Terra Industries Inc. (Terra) that the proposal from CF Industries is, in
Terra's view, a superior proposal to the merger agreement signed 12 February by
Yara and Terra.
As announced on 15 February 2010, Yara and Terra entered into a merger
agreement, pursuant to which Yara agreed to acquire all of the outstanding
common stock of Terra for $41.10 per share in cash. The merger agreement may be
terminated under certain circumstances, including if Terra receives a superior
proposal, as that term is defined in the merger agreement, provides advance
notice to Yara and Yara does not match the superior proposal within five
business days. The deadline for matching this superior proposal will expire by
17 March at 17:00 New York time. If Terra terminates the merger agreement under
such circumstances, Yara will be entitled to a USD 123 million break-up fee.
Yara will have no further comments on the response to Terra on the notification
until Yara's Board of Directors has completed their evaluation.
