Lockheed Martin Awarded $297M GeoXO Lightning Mapper Contract To Support Severe Weather Monitoring With Two Instruments

The U.S. national security panel, tasked with reviewing Nippon Steel&#8216;s (OTCPK: NISTF) $14.9 billion bid for U.S. Steel (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>), is delaying its decision until after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">Nov. 5 presidential election.</a>
According to Reuters, sources familiar with the matter said that the sensitive merger decision will wait until the biggest political event of the year, giving the companies some breathing room and a chance to address concerns.
The pause might be politically advantageous, pushing the final decision past a heated election period. It also opens the door for further discussions, potentially easing the seemingly stalled transaction.
In late August, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) raised concerns, highlighting that the merger could disrupt the steel supply chain critical to U.S. industries like transportation and defense.
Founded in 1901, U.S. Steel became the first company in U.S. history to reach a market value of $1 billion. At its peak, U.S. Steel was the world's largest steel producer and played a significant role in building the nation's infrastructure. Although its market cap has declined to around $8 billion after peaking earlier this century, U.S. Steel remains a key player in the American industrial sector.

The CFIUS worried that under foreign ownership, U.S. Steel would be less likely to advocate for tariffs against cheap steel imports, particularly from China. However, the delay in CFIUS&#8217;s final ruling allows the companies to refile and extend the review process by 90 days.
Still, political opposition to the matter has been bipartisan. In a rare unified opposition, President<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/09/40724057/biden-administration-reportedly-warns-nippon-steels-14-9b-acquisition-of-us-steel-poses-national-sec"> Joe Biden</a>, Former President Donald Trump, and Vice President Kamala Harris have all<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40808813/after-kamala-harris-said-us-steel-should-remain-american-owned-nippon-steels-takahiro-mori-reportedl"> criticized the merger</a>, citing concerns over national security and the potential foreign control of a strategic asset.
Yet, U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt remains optimistic. At the Detroit Economic Club on Tuesday, he expressed confidence that the merger would go through<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/09/40907796/us-steel-ceo-confident-nippon-deal-will-succeed-despite-biden-opposition-we-live-by-a-code"> despite these obstacles</a>.
"I know it&#8217;s getting scrutiny, but this deal will close on its merits. We live by a code and expect others to do the same," he said.
The merger deal values U.S. Steel at $55 per share, giving the deal a price tag of $14.9 billion and a significant premium over the current $8.3 billion market cap.

In a <a target="_blank" href="https://document.epiq11.com/document/getdocumentbycode?docId=4380251&amp;projectCode=TLP&amp;source=DM" rel="noreferrer noopener">filing</a>, the company said, while its direct-selling business model thrived for years, in recent times the model&#8217;s historical strength had waned with time.
The company&#8217;s focus on its direct sales strategy came at the cost of developing an omnichannel strategy or even a<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40887805/whats-going-on-with-tupperware-brands-stock" rel="noreferrer noopener"> modern e-commerce structure to support its sales force.</a>
The operational deterioration stressed the firm&#8217;s capital structure by 2022-end, the filing read.
&#8220;Over the last several years, the Company&#8217;s financial position has been severely impacted by the challenging macroeconomic environment,&#8221; said Laurie Ann Goldman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tupperware.&nbsp;

Tupperware plans to seek court approval to maintain operations throughout the proceedings and remains dedicated to delivering its products via Tupperware sales consultants, retail partners, and online channels.
The company will also request court approval to initiate a sale process for the business to safeguard its brand and further its transformation into a digital-first, technology-driven organization.
Goldman stated that the company explored various strategic options and concluded that pursuing this path would provide essential flexibility for their transformation into a digital-first, technology-driven organization better equipped to serve stakeholders.
The company will submit several standard motions to the court seeking approval to sustain its operations during the process.
This includes ensuring the ongoing payment of employee wages and benefits, as well as compensating vendors and suppliers under normal terms for goods and services received after the filing date, Tupperware added.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Insider transactions serve as a piece of the puzzle in investment decisions, rather than the entire picture.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
