Three hedge funds investing in steel giant Arcelor have asked a Dutch court to block the company's proposed $40 billion takeover by Mittal Steel, saying that revised terms have cost them $205 million. The hedge funds, which want a higher conversion value for their Arcelor shares, want to block the first phase of the deal under which Mittal is to combine with ArcelorMittal, a holding company. A Mittal lawyer said the Rotterdam Court in the Netherlands had no jurisdiction over the planned buyout.
