Manulife continues push for longer takeover protection

Article Abstract:

Manufacturers Life Insurance Co is converting itself into a public company from a mutual company owned by voting policy holders. The company is planning to go public in Oct 1999, with a projected market capitalization of C$9-12 bil. However, president and CEO Dominic D'Alessandro believes that the company would need a stock market value of at least C$40 bil to protect itself from takeover bids by big Canadian banks or foreign acquisitors.
