Intel extends Chips offer Monday December 15, 12:48 pm Eastern Time SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 15 (Reuters) - Intel Corp on Monday said it has extended its $17.50 per share tender offer for all outstanding common shares of Chips and Technologies Inc until 2000 EST on January 19, 1998. The company said the extension stems from the Federal Trade Commission's request for additional information concerning the transaction. Intel expects to receive an FTC decision on whether it will challenge the deal on or before Jan. 9. At the close of business on Dec. 12, roughly 14,406,000, or about 65 percent, of Chips and Technologies' common shares had been tendered. o~~~ O |
