Cooper Tire & Rubber’s $2.5 Billion Proposed acquisition in Jeopardy

The proposed $2.5 billion takeover deal between Copper Tire and Rubber Company (NYSE: CTB) and India’s Apollo Tyres is in trouble. The management from both companies got involved in some heated arguments over the price issue over the weekend. After the deal received an approval from Cooper’s shareholders few days ago, some labor related issues have cropped up, which might delay the transaction. Apollo believes that sorting labor related issues at Cooper’s china facility and the U.S., result in substantial costs. Hence, the Indian tire company feels that a price cut is warranted. However, Cooper disagrees with the contention. Meanwhile, Cooper has also filed a case against Apollo in the U.S. court on Friday, urging the court to force Apollo complete the deal in a timely manner.
