Insider settles suit in Dallas
Ivan Boesky to pay Maxus Energy Corp. $50 million
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Former Wall Street arbitrager Ivan
Boesky agreed to pay Maxus Energy Corp. $50
million to settle an insider trading lawsuit, the
company said Thursday.
Maxus has previously announced settlements
with two other defendants — Kidder, Peabody &
Co. Inc. and its former takeover guru Martin
Siegel. -•
Under the agreement, Maxus said it hopes to
recover up to $15 million primarily from the
division of assets of Boesky's former marriage. The
rest will be recovered from future earnings or from
any undisclosed assets, the company said.
In a $2.2 billion lawsuit that went to trial last
month, Maxus had accused Siegel, Boesky and
Kidder Peabody of defrauding the company's
predecessor, Diamond Shamrock Corp., when it
tried to buy Natomas Co., a San Francisco-based
oil and gas firm, in 1983.
Maxus later decided to drop former merger
strategist Siegel from the lawsuit in return for his
testimony against Boesky.
On Wednesday, Siegel testified that he gave
confidential information to Boesky, providing the
first direct evidence of Maxus' claims of insider
trading in the Natomas deal.
Siegel earlier had refused to answer questions
about the Natomas transaction, citing his right
against self-incrimination.
"I rationalized that these things I was doing
weren't going to hurt anybody," he testified.
"That wasn't the case. They hurt a lot of
people."
On Oct. 10, Maxus accepted a $125 million
settlement with Kidder, Peabody.
Kidder also agreed to pay $40 million for five-
year warrants to purchase eight million shares of
Maxus stock at $13 per share.
Maxus agreed to settle with Siegel after
determining that he had "no assets that we could
reach with a judgment against him," Maxus
attorney Chester J. Hinshaw has said.
The lawsuit had charged that Siegel gave
confidential information about the pending
Natomas deal to Boesky, who then allegedly made
millions in illegal profits trading Natomas stock.
Boesky has testified in a deposition that he
couldn't remember why he purchased huge blocks
of Natomas stock in 1983.
The timing of the buys often coincided with
supposedly secret decisions regarding the
takeover.
Maxus is an independent oil and gas
exploration and production company based in
Dallas.
Steelworkers
win lawsuit;
company to
pay pensions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY - Moe
Tomlinson is thrilled he and 1,900
other steelworkers won a lawsuit
that accused USX Corp. ol
cheating them out of their
pensions.
Now they must figure out
what the victory means in dollars
and cents.
A federal judge sided with
workers who accused USX' ot
deliberately closing a mill in 1986
to cheat them out of millions of
dollars in pension benefits.
Attorneys on both sides have
mentioned damage figures
ranging from $5 million to well
over $100 million.
"The way it stands right now,
we haven't seen any dollar
figures," Tomlinson said
Thursday.
"Every channel on TV last
night had a different one."
U.S. District Judge Bruce
Jenkins, who awarded the
damages, said the amount would
be determined at future hearings.
The ruling, signed Tuesday, came
17 months after an eight-week
trial.
Jenkins agreed USX closed the
profitable Orem mill to save on
pension costs.
He also said the company
illegally changed its pension
plans in the months before the
closure.
Pittsburgh-based USX,
formerly U.S. Steel, said the
closure was part of a $1.2 billion
restructuring of 10 steels mills
involving about 6,500 workers.
The mill was closed in 1986
and sold in 1987 to Basic
Manufacturing & Technology of
Utah, which became Geneva Steel
of Utah. The company reopened
the mill, and about 1,000 of the
plaintiffs, including Tomlinson,
work there.
Tomlinson, 51, has survived a
heart attack and said he worries
most about receiving retirement
health insurance. "That'll be my
big concern, when I finally find
out what the judge has ruled."
Dawne Hickton, a USX
attorney, said the company may
appeal.
The plaintiffs also may appeal
Jenkins' earlier ruling throwing
out age discrimination claims,
which could have netted them
double damages, said plaintiffs'
attorney Allen Young.
Tony Pickering, in whose name
the 1987 lawsuit was filed, has
said he lost $250,000 in pension
benefits because he was a few
months short of 20 years of
service.
"Someone might have lost a
little, another might have lost,
huge income and pensions," said
Young. "We have to prove each
guy's loss."
About 30 plaintiffs have died
and awards will go to their
estates.
