Dementi für Elefantenhochzeit: Rio Tinto sieht kein Merger mit GlencoreXstrata kommen

Sam Walsh, CEO von Rohstoff-Major Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO), erteilt den Merger-Gerüchten mit dem weltgrößten Rohstoff-Händler GlencoreXstrata (LSE:GLEN) weiterhin eine Abfuhr:

Rio Tinto CEO: No chance of a Glencore merger 

Yoel Minkoff, SA News Editor

• Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) will not be taken over by rival Glencore (OTCPK:GLNCY) because there is no value in it for shareholders and regulators will never let it happen, announced Rio Tinto chief executive Sam Walsh.
• Rio snubbed a takeover approach from Glencore last August to create a $160B mining and trading giant, but Glencore never ruled out making a fresh attempt.
• Under U.K. rules, it could return with an offer from April onward.
• Previously: Glencore confirms it is no longer considering merger with Rio Tinto (Oct. 07 2014)
• Previously: Rio Tinto says it turned down Glencore merger idea in August (Oct. 06 2014)
