NIPPON PAINT HOLDINGS CO LTD and SHERWIN-WILLIAMS CO/THE terminated their joint €12.5 billion ($14.5 billion) bid for AkzoNobel on June 3. The withdrawal follows AkzoNobel's rejection of the cash offer last week. The collapse of the deal removes a major consolidation catalyst from the global coatings sector.
