Chemtura's review of strategic alternatives yields no results
By Lisa Kerner
Charlotte, N.C., June 26 - Chemtura Corp. said it will continue to operate as a stand-alone company following its review of strategic alternatives with the assistance of Merrill Lynch & Co.
The company's board of directors explored a potential sale, merger or other business combination involving the entire company, a Chemtura news release said.
Discussions concerning a potential sale, merger or other business combination have been terminated since the board believes they are unlikely to result in a sufficient offer.
Chemtura's special committee, its management and Merrill Lynch will continue to consider other strategic options such as select business divestitures, value-creating acquisitions, joint ventures and changes in the company's capital structure, which could include a stock repurchase program, the release stated.
Chemtura is a manufacturer and marketer of specialty chemicals, crop protection and pool, spa and home care products. The company is located in Middlebury, Conn.
