Department of Justice Antitrust Division Notice is hereby given pursuant to the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act, 15 U.S.C. 16(b)-(h) , that a proposed Final Judgment, Hold Separate Stipulation and Order, and Competitive Impact Statement have been filed with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in United States v. Alcan, Inc., Alcan Aluminum Corp., Pechiney, S.A., and Pechiney Rolled Products, LLC, No. 1:03 CV 02012 (GK). On September 29, 2003, the United States filed a Complaint alleging that Alcan's proposed acquisition of Pechiney would violate section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18 , by substantially lessening competition in development, production, and sale of brazing sheet in North America. Brazing sheet is an aluminum alloy used to make heat exchangers ( e.g., radiators, heaters, and air conditioners) for motor vehicles. The proposed Final Judgment, filed simultaneously with the Complaint, requires the defendants to divest Pechiney's brazing sheet business to a person acceptable to the United States within 120 days after Alcan receives preliminary notice from the responsible French stock market regulatory authority that the firm's tender offer for Pechiney has been successful. Copies of the Complaint, the proposed Final Judgment, Hold Separate Stipulation and Order, and Competitive Impact Statement are available for inspection at the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, Suite 215 North, 325 7th Street, NW., Washington, DC 2…
