CHICAGO, Aug. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LKQ Corporation LKQ today announced the completion of its acquisition of The Coast Distribution System, Inc. (NYSE MKT: CRV). After the previously announced completion of the tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Coast, LKQ completed the second step merger under Delaware law, making Coast a wholly-owned subsidiary of LKQ.

At the effective time of the merger, all shares of Coast common stock not purchased in the tender offer (excluding those shares for which holders properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law and those held by LKQ or Coast or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) were converted into the right to receive $5.50 in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, which is the same price that was paid for shares of Coast common stock purchased in the tender offer. Coast common stock will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange Market Division or any other securities exchange.
