WESTERN COMPANY AND BJ SERVICES TO EXCHANGE DATA
Date: 11 October 1994
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Western Company of North America said yesterday that it had signed confidentiality agreements to trade data with the BJ Services Company, though it continued to rebuff BJ's bid to buy the company for $18.50 a share. Western said the move was consistent with its agreement with BJ Services to continue talks about a possible merger of the two oil-service companies. The agreement forbids either party to solicit proxies until after Nov. 3, allowing the management of Western to work on a resolution to BJ Service's bid to buy it for $450 million. Western rejected that offer last month as inadequate. Price was not the only issue. It also said it preferred a tax-free pooling of interests over BJ Services' offer to pay with cash and stock.

MYLAN LABS SHARES RISE ON PLANS TO SELL GENERIC CECLOR
Date: 11 October 1994
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The shares of Mylan Laboratories Inc. rose 8 percent yesterday after the company, a generic drug maker, said that it would sell a generic version of Ceclor for Eli Lilly & Company. Ceclor was Lilly's second-best-selling drug in 1993, with worldwide sales of about $910 million. The company's manufacturing patent on the antibiotic expires in December, paving the way for tough competition from generic drug makers. The agreement may hamper that competition while providing Mylan with a lucrative source of revenue, analysts said. Mylan shares rose $2.25, to $28.375, on volume of almost 1.6 million shares. Lilly's shares closed unchanged at $58.
