UNITED DOMINION TERMINATES TENDER OFFER FOR COMMERCIAL INTERTECH
CHARLOTTE, NC (August 5, 1996) -- United Dominion Indus-
tries (NYSE, TSE: UDI) today terminated its $30 per share cash
tender offer for all the outstanding common stock of Commercial
Intertech Corp. (NYSE: TEC) and, as a result, will cease
solicitation of agent designations to call a special meeting of
TEC shareholders. United Dominion issued the following state-
ment:
We are terminating our cash offer to buy Commercial
Intertech after vigorous efforts to negotiate with the
company's management and board of directors and in view of what
we consider to be irresponsible actions they have taken to
entrench themselves. The combination of a leveraged share buy-
back from selected TEC stockholders and the "tax poison pill"
created by spinning off TEC's most valuable asset has clearly
impaired the company's value. TEC's board appears determined
to distribute their Cuno spin-off dividend before a special
shareholder meeting can be held and thus deny Commercial
Intertech shareholders their right to choose between our cash
offer and management's defensive break up of the company. We
continue to believe the combination of United Dominion and
Commercial Intertech would add substantial value for
shareholders, employees and other constituents of both
companies and remain prepared to acquire the entire company in
a negotiated transaction, should TEC's board reconsider its
position.
