Axalta to explore sale of company as it reviews 'strategic alternatives'
Axalta Coating Systems is exploring a potential sale of the company, as it initiates a "comprehensive review of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value." Axalta, which was called DuPont Performance Coatings when the Carlyle Group bought it from DuPont for $4.9 billion in 2013, employs more than 14,000 worldwide, including about 600 across offices in Philadelphia, its Navy Yard, Exton and Glen Mills.

The review committee will be led by Axalta (NYSE: AXTA) independent director Mark Garrett along with Samuel Smolik, also an independent director, and CEO Robert Bryant.

UPDATE 1-Buffett-backed Axalta Coating Systems to explore a sale
Axalta Coating Systems Ltd, the U.S. coatings company whose largest shareholder is Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc, said on Wednesday it had formed a board committee to explore a sale of the company. Axalta rebuffed acquisition approaches in 2017 from Akzo Nobel NV and Nippon Paint Holdings Co Ltd. Since then, the company has lost about a fifth of its market value, even though the S&P 500 Index has risen more than 9 percent during the same period, as demand in Axalta's key automotive market weakened. Axalta also got new management in December, after its investigation of previous Chief Executive Officer Terrence Hahn found conduct in October "inconsistent with the company’s policies." Axalta never disclosed the investigation's findings.
