DLPH - Acquisition in Peril: Delphi Technologies Shares Fall on BorgWarner Notice
Shares of auto-parts supplier Delphi Technologies (NYSE: DLPH) were down sharply on Tuesday after the company drew down its line of credit without permission from acquirer BorgWarner (NYSE: BWA) -- leading BorgWarner to warn that it may back away from the $3.3 billion deal. As of 11 a.m. EDT, Delphi Technologies' shares were down about 19% from Monday's closing price.
Back in January, Delphi agreed to be acquired by BorgWarner in a $3.3 billion deal that valued Delphi's equity at $1.5 billion. (The remainder is Delphi's debt, which BorgWarner agreed to assume.) Delphi's shares soared after the news was announced.
