W.R. Grace Agrees to Settle Asbestos Claims

W.R. Grace & Co. has agreed to settle all asbestos-related personal injury claims pending against the company.

This article from the Wall Street Journal has the details.

As the article states:

"The Columbia, Md., specialty-chemical company agreed to put $250 million into a trust fund that will distribute the money among people who were injured by exposure to asbestos contamination from Grace's products. Grace also will make payments to the trust amounting to $1.55 billion from 2019 to 2034, and issue warrants for the trust fund to acquire 10 million shares of Grace's common stock for $17 each."

A press release on the settlement from the company can be found here.
