Allied Signal will pursure AMP despite adverse ruling by judge

Article Abstract:

Allied Signal Inc. said that it will proceed with its planned $9.7 billion hostile takeover of AMP Inc. Federal District Judge James T. Giles ruled that it was unlawful for Allied to have AMP shareholders gain control from the board over AMP's shareholder rights plan. Judge Giles delayed the election of board nominees until Allied stated that "its director nominees have a fiduciary duty soley to AMP." Some shareholders stated they hoped AMP's executives would negotiate a friendly offer for the company.
