CN Rail Tops Rival With $30 Billion Offer for K.C. Southern Bloomberg 1 hr ago Anthony Palazzo and Derek Decloet (Bloomberg) -- Canadian National Railway Co. offered $30 billion to snatch Kansas City Southern away from a rival, spurring a possible bidding war over one of the industry’s biggest deals in decades. The $325-a-share bid consists of $200 in cash and 1.059 Canadian National shares for each share of Kansas City Southern, Montreal-based CN said in a statement Tuesday. Canadian National gave its offer an enterprise value of $33.7 billion. The bid is about 20% higher than a $25 billion deal Kansas City Southern made with Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. last month.
