board had approved an offer by another company to acquire all outstanding Champion common stock at s2l cash per share. “It's not in the best interests of our shareholders to go higher.' said Southwood J. Morcott, Dana president “We are unable to identify potential values in the combination that would justify an increased price. “ On January 17. Dana began a tender offer to acquire up to 17.320,000 Champion shares for $17.50 cash pursuant to an agreement with Champion intended to result in the acquisition of Champion by Dana. The Dana offer was scheduled to expire on February 24. The company will return any Champion shares tendered under the offer. Commenting on the Dana action.

Both girls are students at Milford, Rita being a sixth grader and Karri, a fifth grader.

entering into the agreement, we held extensive talks with Champion management. The talks covered financial projections, the principal markets which Champion serves, and the future investment required to realize an adequate return. “As a result of our investigations, and in view of our strategic move toward distinction, we agreed to acquire Champion at a price which both parties considered fair. The agreed price represented a substantial premium over the price at which Champion share had traded in 1988, prior to recent takeover speculation, and fully reflected the marketing benefits and operating economies which we expected to result from the combination of the two companies. “We will continue to strengthen our position in the distribution market through internal growth and acquisition.” Morcott said
