U.S. catalysts group Engelhard agreed on Tuesday to a $5.07 billion takeover by BASF AG after the German chemicals group sweetened its offer for a second time. BASF said the New Jersey-based Engelhard’s board would recommend that shareholders accept the offer of $39 per share, an increase of $2 over BASF’s original offer. BASF said Engelhard’s investors will have an opportunity to voice their opinions on the offer at Engelhard’s annual meeting on Friday.
