Extended offer for BOC Group
3 May 2000
Air Liquide, Air Products and the government panel on takeovers and mergers in the UK have agreed an extension of the period for the satisfaction or waiver of the pre-conditions to the offer for BOC. The date has been extended to 12 May 2000, which will provide time for Air Products and Air Liquide to reach an agreement with purchasers of assets that may have to be divested in the US, and to obtain approval from the US Federal Trade Commission.
