Peavey Merger Approved By ConAgra To Create Major Flour Miller
Shareholders approved a 180 million merger making Peavey Co of Minneapolis a wholly owned subsidiary of ConAgra Inc. The deal ends with Peavey stockholders taking 30 dollars per share in cash or in ConAgra stock, boosting ConAgra to the lead flour miller with a 21 percent national market share. Montana officials had pressed for antitrust review over potential reduced grain competition. A Justice Department spokesman said a decision on a full antitrust probe had not been made. ConAgra reported 1.4 billion in sales and 27 million net income last year. Peavey reported 821 million in sales and 23 million net income.
