Read the texts paying special attention to new words and word-combinations:
Kia, South Korea’s second largest vehicle maker, and Ford Motor Credit, a unit of Ford of the US, have established a joint venture car finance company for Korean buyers. Kia Ford Credit Finance has an initial paid-in capital of Won 33.3bn ($44m) which will be increased yearly. The venture will be launched on January 1, 1996 in Seoul, with plans to expand nation-wide. The car financing venture will not limit itself to financing Kia and Ford car buyers.
Shareholders of TSB Group approved the bank’s merger with Lloyds Bank, and the change of name of their company to Lloyds TSB Group. The merger is expected to take effect from December 28, 1995. The shareholders also voted to allow TSB directors to make arrangements for Lloyds Bank share option holders to be given options over Lloyds TSB shares.
The demerger of the US healthcare group Baxter International is in several ways a classic of the genre. First, Baxter is splitting off the manufacturing and distribution activities.
Second, it is unpicking a decade-old merger with its larger rival American Hospital Supplies, which was largely designed to bring manufacturing and distribution together. It might also seem curious that only two years ago, Baxter carefully considered demerging the business and decided against it. The impression remains that Baxter’s demerger is very much in line with the prevailing fashion: take a vertically integrated business and pick it apart, with a view to possible horizontal merger with fresh partners.
