FPL, Entergy Can't Iron Out Differences, Merger Dead
LCG, April 2, 2001Entergy Corp. and FPL Group Inc. said this morning that they are giving up on their planned $6.3 billion merger after failing to resolve differences that had arisen during transition talks between the two companies.Both sides agreed not to seek termination fees unless either enters into a similar deal with another company in the next nine months.Though characterized as a "merger of equals" when it was announced, that it was a takeover of Entergy by FPL was apparent from the way the new management would be structures.

Entergy Chairman Robert Luft noted that Entergy has exceeded Wall Street profit estimates for 11 straight quarters.
