Cooper Tire & Rubber Co on December 16 lost its court bid to force Apollo Tyres to complete their proposed USD 2.3 billion merger.
The Delaware Supreme Court dismissed Cooper's appeal against an earlier ruling that Apollo was meeting its obligations to reach new contract terms with unions at Cooper plants in Ohio and Texas.
Apollo, which would have become the world's seventh-biggest tire maker after the merger, wanted to pay less than the USD 35 per share agreed in June because of demands by unions at Cooper plants and disruptions at Cooper's venture in China.
Under the terms of the merger, Apollo can walk away from the deal on December 31.
