H.B. Fuller Rejects Ancora Offer for BAS Valued Up to $1.2 Billion
H.B. Fuller says its board unanimously rejected activist Ancora Holdings’ unsolicited plan to buy its Building Adhesives Solutions unit for $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion. Fuller cites BAS’s 6% organic Q2 growth and warns a carve-out across more than 30 plants would create major dis-synergies. The company expects BAS to become a key earnings driver as construction and data-center demand recover.
