Chart Industries disclosed that it received multiple acquisition approaches and has mailed a definitive proxy statement for a special meeting on October 6, 2025, relating to a previously announced merger. The company describes a preliminary, non-binding all-stock proposal from Baker Hughes offering 5.241 shares of Baker Hughes common stock for each Chart share (implying Chart stockholders would own ~20% of the combined company) and an unsolicited all-cash proposal at $210 per Chart share.
