When the deal was announced, Ashland said it would pay $2.6 billion in a combination of cash and stock, plus assume $700 million in Hercules debt.
Besides boosting its position in the pulp and paper business, Ashland also will gain new opportunities in municipal, industrial and marine water treatment.
