Here is some scoop on a DPI customer: Litton agrees to buy rival shipbuilder for $529 million in cash NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Litton Industries Inc. will buy Avondale Industries for $529 million after Newport News Shipbuilding declined to raise its offer for the shipbuilder. Litton also indicated Thursday it plans to re-examine its offer to buy Newport News in light of potential government opposition. New Orleans-based Avondale had agreed earlier to merge with Newport News for $470 million in stock. But Litton offered more in cash, ultimately enticing Avondale. Avondale had given Newport News until Thursday to improve its bid, but the Virginia-based company decided against such a move. ``We thoroughly reviewed the issues and determined that it was not in the best business interests of our shareholders to raise our offer for Avondale,'' said William P. Fricks, the chairman of Newport News. Shares of Litton rose on the news, increasing $2.12 1/2 to $69.06 1/4 the New York Stock Exchange. Shares of Newport News were down 50 cents to $28.37 1/2 on the Big Board, while shares of Avondale fell 21 7/8 cents to $38.09 3/8 on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Newport News-Avondale combination was apparently doomed last Friday when Defense Secretary William Cohen said the Pentagon would probably tell the Justice Department to reject the Woodland Hills, Calif.-based Litton's $1.3 billion bid for Newport News for anti-competitive reasons. At the same time, Cohen said the Navy had determined it would not oppose Litton's offer for Avondale. The Litton-Newport News deal would have reduced the number of companies competing to build most classes of Navy warships from three to two. Litton said Thursday it hasn't given up on acquiring Newport News, even with the statements by Cohen. The company did not elaborate. Litton, which owns Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Miss., made its bids for Avondale and Newport News earlier in May after Cohen rejected an attempt by General Dynamics Corp. to acquire Newport News. Litton had originally bid $38 a share, or about $500 million for Avondale, but later sweetened its offer to $39.50 a share. Tom Kitchen, Avondale's chief financial officer, said no layoffs were planned and the company was optimistic that more jobs could result from the merger. The two companies expect it will take about 90 days to finish the merger, which must be approved by the federal government. ``We're talking about evaluating the resources and capacity of both Ingalls and Avondale and putting them together in a way to expand in both locations,'' Kitchen said. Ingalls employs about 11,000 workers, while Avondale has about 6,000. The combined Litton-Avondale company would employ 40,000. Avondale, a non-union yard, has been engaged in a six-year fight to avoid having to recognize the Metal Trades Council of the AFL-CIO. The company, which is challenging a union representation vote held in 1993, has taken the case to a federal appeals court. A decision is pending. ``Anybody buying Avondale would be an improvement potential for the workers,'' said Jim Evans, a union organizer. ``But we're just in a wait-and-see position.'' At Ingalls, two unions on strike were scheduled to vote Thursday and Friday on contract offers. If the contracts are approved, workers will return to work Monday after three weeks off the job.
