Trash hauler Waste Management Inc. on Monday withdrew its hostile $6.73 billion offer for smaller rival Republic Services Inc., citing the broader economic climate, seemingly clearing the way for the target's agreed-to merger with Allied Waste Industries Inc.
Allied Waste and Republic agreed to an all-stock merger on June 23
worth nearly $6 billion. The move by Waste Management ends the
contentious battle for Republic, which saw the adoption of a poison
pill by Republic in late July and a bidding war that lifted the offer
price for the company from nearly $6 billion to $6.73 billion. - Carolyn Murphy
