FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE LOEWEN GROUP RECEIVES GOVERNMENT CLEARANCE
TO ACQUIRE MHI GROUP
BURNABY, B.C. - The Loewen Group announced today the expiration of the waiting
period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (the "HSR Act")
applicable to its planned acquisition of the MHI Group, Inc.
The acquisition is structured as a tender offer for all outstanding MHI shares
at a price of $10.25 per share, to be followed by a merger of MHI with a
subsidiary of Loewen Group. The tender offer and the merger are subject, among
other things, to the acquisition of a majority of the total number of shares of
common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis. The tender offer is
scheduled to expire on Monday, September 11, 1995 and is not subject to
financing. Following completion of the merger, all shares of MHI common stock
then outstanding (other than shares held by MHI or Loewen) will be converted
into the right to receive $10.25 per share in cash.
The transaction will result in Loewen acquiring 13 funeral homes, four
cemeteries and three crematories in Florida and three funeral homes, one
cemetery and one crematory in Colorado.
<PAGE>
With the purchase of MHI, Loewen will have completed or signed letters of intent
for acquisitions totaling approximately $500 million in 1995, including
completed acquisitions of 101 funeral homes and 51 cemeteries in the United
States and Canada, and letters of intent for the future purchase of a further 48
funeral homes and 32 cemeteries.
With corporate offices in Burnaby, British Columbia and in Cincinnati and
Philadelphia, The Loewen Group Inc. is the fastest growing operator of funeral
homes and cemeteries in North America. The company employs approximately 8,000
people and owns and operates 738 funeral homes and 167 cemeteries across the
United States and Canada. Approximately 90% of the company's revenue is derived
from United States locations.
