TBC may soon purchase Del-Nat

Jan. 5, 2015

A deal that would result in the purchase of Del-Nat Tire Corp. by TBC Corp. has been agreed to in principle.

Del-Nat CEO Brian Grant sent a letter to his shareholders informing them of Del-Nat's decision to accept TBC's purchase offer. However, certain details need to be ironed out before the deal is finalized.

Grant was named interim CEO last June when Del-Nat reorganized its senior management team. In the letter to Del-Nat shareholders, he referenced how Del-Nat's turnaround efforts were "significantly impacted" by the recent countervailing duties imposed on consumer imports from China by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
