Bridgestone Shares Rise on Back of Bandag Acquisition

Bridgestone Corp. shares rose 3.5% to 2,550 yen, the company’s greatest gain in two months, after the tyremaker agreed to purchase retreader Bandag Inc.

The US$1.05 billion dollar purchase will see Bridgestone gain a retreading presence in nearly 100 countries through Bandag’s 900-plus dealerships, helping them to compete with the likes of Goodyear and Michelin .
Bandag shares changed hands for the cash price of US$50.75 per share after unanimous approval from the company’s board of directors. The transaction is expected to close in the late first or early second quarter of 2007.
