Will share ex penses,696-8484, 693-5059. 123t4/9 HOUSTON (AP) — Torchmark Corp. withdrew a $6.4 billion bid for American General Corp. Monday, a week after proposing the buyout, choosing instead to work to elect its own nominees to American Gener al’s board of directors. The Birmingham, Ala.-based in surance and financial services com pany said it decided to withdraw the offer for the much larger American General because it never received a response to its proposal. Torchmark had sent a letter in forming American General of the offer last March 26, saying the Houston-based insurance and finan cial services, firm had two days to give an answer. “Since no response was forthcom ing, the proposal was withdrawn,” Torchmark said Monday, adding that American General had refused to meet to discuss the bid. American General has only said it was reviewing the bid and that direc tors would discuss it at their next regular meeting May 2, the day of the company’s annual meeting. Torchmark had proposed to buy about half of American General’s 126.7 million outstanding shares of common stock for $50 per share, and exchange $50 worth of Torch mark common stock for each of the remaining shares. The company had said the offer was negotiable. “We made a generous proposal to consolidate with American General at a 59 percent premium over mar ket price for American General shareholders,” Torchmark Presi dent John T. Rotenstreich said Mon day. late of five independent nominees for the American General board at the May 2 meeting. Three board members are up for re-election and three seats are up for election. “Independent nominees, when elected, will be committed to inde pendently assessing whether or not a business combination of American General would be in the sharehold ers’ best interest,” Torchmark said in a statement Monday. American General issued a statement saying it has rejected Torchmark’s attempt to propose its own slate of directors because it was past the company’s March 3 dead line for nominations. American General has filed a law suit in federal court asking a judge to uphold its bylaws and prohibit Torchmark from soliciting proxies in an effort to elect its own slate of directors. A hearing date on the law suit has not been set. Torchmark also said it would pro pose a resolution at the meeting call ing on the board to appoint a com mittee of independent directors to evaluate all acquisition proposals and hire an investment banking firm to solicit offers. “American General said that its board would not consider our pro posal until after its annual meeting on May 2, so the annual meeting has become a referendum on whether shareholders want the board to se riously consider proposals like ours,” Rotenstreich said. He said Torchmark intends to make another proposal only if share holders express support for a merger by electing the independent nominees or voting in favor of the resolution. At the end of 1989, American General’s total assets were $32.1 bil lion and common shareholders’ equ ity was $4.1 billion. Torchmark re ported total assets at Dec. 31 of $4.9 billion and common shareholders’ equity of $795 million. Cattle program supports U.S.-Mexico trade pact JAPANESE LANGUAGE CLASSES. Now enrolling Level 1 and Level 2. 696-1101. 119t4/3 AMARILLO (AP) — The Texas Cattle Feeders Association and Mex ican and U.S. government officials are set to begin a program that will allow Mexican cattle to be fed in the U.S. and slaughtered in Mexico, a move officials say will benefit both countries. Ravaged by drought and interest rates as high as 65 percent, Mexican government officials proposed the idea of beefing up cattle in the United States at a TCFA meeting last November. “This program will benefit both sides of the border,” Ross Wilson, TCFA government affairs director, said Monday. “Mexican cattlemen will be able to operate at lower costs with better grain, and American feeders will be able to run at a higher level of occu pancy.” Agriculture officials said the feed ing also will increase demand for U.S. grains. “It’s exactly what both countries have been advocating in the U.S.- Mexico trade pact for the last several months,” said Leon Miller, president of Alta Verde Industries, one of the nation’s 20 largest cattle operating industries. “It is a maquiladora in reverse,” he said. Maquiladora, or twin plant, allows U.S. manufacturers to reduce costs by producing goods in Mexico. Alta Verde, which is based in Ea gle Pass, has the capacity to house 65,000 head of cattle, but currently is feeding only 20,000 head. “We expect to increase our capac ity by 50 percent,” Miller said. “That will be quite a shot in the arm for us and it has to be good business for our Mexican counterparts.” Export duties normally tacked onto the head of cattle are waived because they are returning to Mex ico, Wilson said. The release Friday of animal health regulations published by the Department of Agriculture was the final hurdle for commencement of the cattle shipping, said Anita Brown, a USDA spokeswoman. “I expect Mexican cattlemen to begin sending head of cattle across the border in the next few weeks,” Wilson said.
