Steel Partners makes offer for Noritz

Date: September 12th, 2008
Steel Partners has offered to buy-out Noritz Corp, a Japanese gas and water heater maker, for $394 million. Steel Partners currently is the company’s #1 shareholder with an 18.7% stake in the company. In a statement, the activist hedge fund vented its frustration with management and stated that its offer was largely due to Steel’s "frustration and concern over the rapidly deteriorating performance."
