Sale of Radnor’s Airgas for $13.4 Billion Wins Regulatory Approval

Air Liquide, a Paris-based industrial gas manufacturer with its U.S. headquarters in Houston, was approved by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to buy Radnor’s Airgas Inc. This was the final regulatory approval needed, and the companies now plan to close the deal on May 23.

The deal, announced in November, is valued at $13.4 billion, including the assumption of debt. However, Air Liquide and Airgas had to agree to sell certain assets to settle FTC charges that the deal likely would have harmed competition. If Air Liquide fails to sell them to an FTC-approved buyer within four months of acquiring Airgas, the FTC can appoint a trustee to divest the assets. According to Air Liquide’s statement, the divestiture process is well underway.
