US law firm examines proposed Ash Grove Cement sale to CRH

Print this page

US: WeissLaw is investigating the proposed sale of Ash Grove Cement to Ireland’s CRH on the grounds of whether the board acted to maximise shareholder value prior to the deal. Citing an article by financial markets research company Seeking Alpha the law firm says it is exploring whether rising demand for cement due to expected government infrastructure spending, the company’s high market share in certain regions and its recent growth in operating earnings were fully taken into account when valuing the company. CRH and Ash Grove Cement announced the US$3.5bn deal in late September 2017.
