Share via
From Associated Press

Georgia Gulf Corp. said Tuesday it was considering a debt-financed recapitalization, a defensive move against NL Industries Inc.’s unsolicited $1.1-billion bid to buy the chemical manufacturer.

Georgia Gulf said in a vaguely worded statement that it had decided a recapitalization was the best way for the company to benefit its stockholders.

The company did not disclose any details of its plans. It said a special shareholders meeting would be called once arrangements were made.
