Philip Morris to acquire Nabisco in deal worth 14.9B
Philip Morris Companies Inc agreed to buy Nabisco Holdings Corp for 14.9 billion dollars plus 4 billion in debt, at 55 dollars a share, expanding Kraft Nabisco into a major food group and positioning the merged company to be second only to Nestle in world sales. Nabisco would spin off remaining Nabisco Group assets to RJ Reynolds for about 9.8 billion, with an IPO of 20 percent planned in 2001 to retire debt. Icahn had pursued Nabisco with a separate offer, while Danone and Cadbury Schweppes also tabled bids in the bidding war.
