E.ON Continues to Fight for Acquisition of Ruhrgas
The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court decided to uphold the preliminary injunction prohibiting the implementation of the takeover of Ruhrgas AG. E.ON regrets this ruling and does not consider that the reasons given to support this decision are convincing.
If the ruling in the case-of-action proceedings expected for early February 2003 also blocks the acquisition of Ruhrgas, E.ON will take full advantage of the legal options available to implement the takeover of Ruhrgas.
