The Steel War: Mittal vs. Arcelor
內容大綱
This case describes the hostile takeover bid by Mittal steel for Arcelor steel in what turned out to be one of the most acrimonious takeovers in European history. The battle began in January 2006 and lasted six months. From the outset, Arcelor's management resisted Mittal's deal using every possible defense involving politicians, bankers and public relations advisors, among others. There was even a proposed merger with a Russian company in a desperate effort to avoid the hostile takeover bid. Finally, on 25 June 2006, after the fierce battle that included allegations of racism and much animosity, Arcelor heeded its shareholders' wishes and accepted the bid. The initial offer was 18.6 billion and the final price paid by Mittal was 26.9 billion. During the six months, Mittal's share price had increased by almost 25%, with Arcelor's more than doubling.
