Rogers Collapses as Dupont Pulls Back on Buyout Offer

Story Highlights

Dupont has withdrawn its planned acquisition of Rogers. Failure to get regulatory approval for the buyout resulted in the fallout.

Rogers Corporation (NYSE:ROG) collapsed over 40% in after-market trading yesterday after Dupont de Nemours, Inc. (NYSE:DD) withdrew its planned buyout of the specialty engineered materials company. Meanwhile, DD shares rose 5.6% in after-hours trading on the news.

Dupont pulled back its planned $5.2 billion acquisition of Rogers due to a lack of timely regulatory clearance, especially from the Chinese antitrust review. The scheduled time of acquiring approvals ended on Tuesday, and hence, the announcement of acquisition termination. Rogers will receive a termination fee of $162.5 million from Dupont.

Dupont first offered to buy Rogers in November of last year. Since then, ROG stock has traded close to its offer price of $277 per share. However, the stock began to lose appeal to investors this year as a result of the delay in obtaining regulatory approvals.
