The Renco Group, Inc. Key Developments

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Sues The Renco Group, Inc. for $97 Million in Pension Liabilities

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation filed a lawsuit seeking $97 million from The Renco Group Inc. and its affiliates for attempting to evade their pension obligations. The New York-based holding company had a controlling interest in RG Steel, which sponsored two pension plans with about 1,350 people. In January 2012, Renco sold 24.5% of its ownership stake in RG Steel to an affiliate of the New York-based investment firm Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. Renco reduced its ownership stake in an attempt to free itself from responsibility for RG Steel's pension debts. Filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the complaint said that PBGC raised concerns about the transaction, and held back on terminating the plans after Renco gave assurances that no transaction changing its ownership status was imminent.
