CSX Takeover Not Blocked By Supreme Court Denial
The Supreme Court declined to block CSX Corp from proceeding with its 1.07 billion takeover of Texas Gas Resources. Justice Powell denied the petition by Water Transport Association, while Justice Brennan rejected a similar appeal. The district court had lifted a bar on the merger, allowing CSX to buy Texas Gas shares at 7 p.m. EDT. The deal, at $52 per share, would give CSX control of over 90 percent of Texas Gas.
