Title
Altana speciality chems may go private.
Abstract
The article reports that Susanne Klatten who owns 50.1% stake at Altana has offered to purchase the company. The German-based specialty chemicals producer could become a fully privately-owned company if a €910 million buyout bid which represents a 38% premium to the company's most recent shareprice, goes ahead. The bid was made as the company cut its forecast for 2008, blaming the weakening economy.
