摘要

When Berkshire Hathaway Inc. struck a $1.7 billion deal last April to acquire Clayton Homes Inc., it was a classic move for the investment firm and its legendary chief, Warren Buffett. Clayton, a Maryville (Tenn.) maker of manufactured homes, fit Buffett's style of buying boring, brick-and-mortar businesses that appear undervalued. And the deal seemed set for clear sailing. During one easygoing conference call in April, James Clayton, Clayton's folksy chairman, began strumming his guitar while Buffett picked his ukulele over the speakerphone. Now it appears the tune has changed. Following shareholder approval in July, Clayton management in early August declared the deal done and even stopped trading in its shares. But after dissident shareholders complained that the deal was forced through at a lowball price and with alleged proxy fraud, a Tennessee judge on Aug. 18 put the buyout on hold. With a jury trial now set to take place as early as September, the deal is in danger of falling apart.
