German Court Rules on DaimlerChrysler 08.21.2006, 10:50 AM

DaimlerChrysler AG must pay about $295 million to former shareholders of Daimler-Benz AG to settle a case related to its 1998 merger with Chrysler Corp., a court said Monday. The automaker must pay a group of investors euro22.15 ($28.42) per share, or a total of euro230 million, to resolve the dispute over the valuation of their stock, said Till Jakob, a spokesman for the state court in Stuttgart.

DaimlerChrysler spokesman Thomas Froehlich said the court had not yet informed the company of the decision, but added: "We consider the additional payments inappropriate and will probably appeal." During the 1998 merger, 1.8 percent of Daimler-Benz shares were exchanged involuntarily for shares in the merged company. Some shareholders claimed that the exchange ratio used undervalued their shares, and they launched court proceedings in 1999.
