U.S. Steel Calls Ancora's Growth Plan an 'Unrealistic Pipedream'

Dow Jones

04-09

By Connor Hart

U.S. Steel called activist investor Ancora's plan to boost its stock price "an unrealistic, distant future value pipedream rooted firmly in fiction."

The steelmaker's comments came after Ancora earlier in the day Tuesday said it believed that the execution of its strategy--as well as the appointment of its nominees to U.S. Steel's board--could result in boosting the value of the company's shares to over $75 apiece.

U.S. Steel said Ancora's plan is contradictory, full of unfounded assumptions and reminiscent of Cleveland Cliffs' failed growth strategy.

"Ancora's newly unveiled, last-minute 'plan' is inconsistent at best and begets the critical question: If Ancora now believes their plan would deliver $75+ per share, why are they suddenly also supporting a $55 per share cash deal with Nippon Steel?" U.S. Steel said. "Ancora's flip-flopping on the Nippon Steel deal should make U. S. Steel stockholders even more skeptical of Ancora's true motives."

The clash comes a day after President Trump ordered a new national security review of Nippon Steel's $14 billion plan to acquire U.S. Steel, offering new life for the deal that former President Joe Biden blocked.
