Under the terms of the agreement, public shareholders of Rockwood would receive $50.65 in cash and 0.4803 shares of Albemarle for each share of Rockwood they own. Based on Albemarle's closing stock price on July 14, 2014, Rockwood shareholders would have received consideration valued at approximately $85.53 per share.
