Crowley again extends stock purchase period Crowley Newco Corp. has added another week to its tender offer period for purchasing all outstanding common stock as part of a plan to take the


company private.    The tender period had been scheduled to expire at 5 p.m. today, but the company said it has extended the period to 5 p.m. May 7. Crowley Newco earlier extended the offer


period from April 20 to April 30.    Crowley Newco is the company formed to purchase all outstanding common stock in Jacksonville-based Crowley Maritime Corp., parent company of the


steamship line serving the Puerto Rico Jones Act, Caribbean islands, and Central America trades.    In March, Crowley Newco was formed to buy the common stock as part of an agreement

successful, Crowley Maritime would no longer be a public company, Crowley said in a statement. TO CONTINUE READING THIS ARTICLE... ALREADY HAVE AN ACCOUNT? SIGN IN CREATE A FREE ACCOUNT No
