Airgas，Inc。（纽约证券交易所代码：ARG）今天宣布其董事会在仔细审议其独立的金融和法律顾问后，一致拒绝从Air Products＆Chemicals，Inc。（纽约证券交易所代码：APD）获得修订的未经请求的招标报价所有优秀的Air Gas股份，每股70.00美元的现金价格。
董事会一致建议Airgas股东不要将其股份投标到Air Products的修订报价中。
In making its determination, the Board considered the factors described in the Company’s amended Schedule 14D-9, including improvements in the Company's business, in the market performance of the Company’s business sector and in the operating and economic environment, and the opinions of Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. as of December 21, 2010 regarding the inadequacy, from a financial point of view, of the price offered by Air Products, based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in their respective written opinions included in the amended Schedule 14D-9. Accordingly, the Board unanimously concluded that the $70 per share offer is clearly inadequate and that the value of Airgas in a sale, at this time, is at least $78.00 per share, in light of the Board’s view of relevant valuation metrics.
