Union Pacific and Chicago and
North Western Announce Transaction
Chicago, Illinois, March 10, 1995 -- Union Pacific
Corporation (UNP) and Chicago and North Western
Transportation Company (CNW) announced that they have
agreed that Union Pacific will acquire 100% of CNW's
common stock at a price of $35 per share in cash. The
transaction is subject, among other things, to
negotiation and execution of a mutually satisfactory
definitive purchase agreement and approvals by the
companies' respective boards of directors.
"I am very excited about this transaction. The
Chicago and North Western is an excellent managed and
maintained railroad with a great route to Chicago," said
Union Pacific Corporation Chairman and CEO Drew Lewis.
"This is a strategic move that will make Union Pacific an
even greater mover of southern Powder River Basin coal,
grain, intermodal and other products."
Union Pacific is a transportation and natural
resource company based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania with
sales of approximately $8 billion.
The Chicago and North Western Transportation
Company is the holding company for the Chicago and North
Western Railway Company, a leading railroad freight
hauler in the central transcontinental corridor and major
transporter of coal, grain and double-stack containers.
