National Airlines merger position clouded by rival bids
National Airlines Chairman Lewis B. Maytag said the merger with Pan American World Airways faces uncertainty due to a competing bid from Eastern Airlines. He testified before a Civil Aeronautics Board judge amid hearings on National Pan Am and Texas International’s stock purchase bid. Proxy material for the Jan 15 stockholders meeting may need revision as Eastern’s $50 a share offer emerges while Pan Am had proposed $41 per National share. Pan Am and Texas International own about 42 percent of National stock, with TI at 23 percent and Pan Am at nearly 19 percent. National stock closed at $38.40, down 15 percent.
