WESTERN RESOURCES RENEWS CHALLENGE TO REPUBLIC WARRANT
Western Resources yesterday filed a motion with the United
States District Court in Florida seeking to enjoin or prohibit
Republic Industries, Inc. from transferring or selling 15 million
ADT shares that Republic purchased last week when it exercised the
warrant it had received in connection with its failed merger
agreement with ADT last summer.
Western Resources also seeks to enjoin Michael Ashcroft,
ADT's chairman, from voting the 15 million shares issued by ADT
as a result of Republic's exercise of the warrant.
In its motion papers, Western Resources asserts that the ADT
board of directors breached its fiduciary duties by granting and
amending the warrant for improper entrenchment and anti-takeover
purposes. Western Resources told the court that an injunction
would serve the public interest because it would prevent Republic
from unloading 15 million wrongfully issued ADT shares onto the
national securities exchange.
According to company officials, Western Resources always has
maintained that the warrant was detrimental for ADT's shareowners
because it wrongfully diluted interest in ADT and was yet another
entrenchment device. Now that Republic has exercised the warrant,
Western Resources intends to vigorously pursue its claims.
Western Resources (NYSE:WR) is a full-service, diversified energy
company with total assets of more than $6 billion. Its utilities, KPL
