Preface
Purpose and Scape of Report
This report summarizes information on trans­
actions involving foreign direct investments in the
United States. Prepared by the Office of Foreign In­
vestment in the United States (OFIUS), the report
covers all modes of foreign investments for the year
1976 and also summarizes transactions dealing with
acquisitions, mergers, and equity increases for the
three-year period 1974-76. The data were derived
from published materials and the public files of the
Federal regulatory agencies.
The Office of Foreign Investment in the United
States was established by the Department of Com­
merce to carry out the responsibilities delegated to
it under Executive Order 11858 of May 7, 1975,
which charged the Secretary with the responsibility,
along with other functions, of closely observing, col­
lecting, and developing data on foreign investments
in the United States and preparing analyses and re­
ports to assist in policy development and for the in­
formation of the Congress and the general public.
This report is in partial fulfillment of that responsi­
bility as well as the requirements of the International
Investment Survey Act of 1976 (Public Law 94472) and Executive Order 11961 of January 19,
1977, which includes the requirement to conduct
studies and prepare reports on significant aspects of
international investment.
Coverage for the year 1976, the first full year of
the Office’s operation, extends to all modes of
direct investment— acquisitions, mergers, increases
in equity holdings in direct investments, joint ven­
tures, establishment and enlargement of operations
through plant construction and expansion, other
types of subsidiary operations, real estate purchases
and development projects, and the establishment of
branches and agencies.
In recognition of the broadly expressed interest in
acquisitions and foreign banking activity, the Office
also probed back into these forms of investment—
along with mergers and equity increases—for the
years 1974 and 1975, and the report examines the




scope and characteristics of such investments over
the 1974-76 period.
Finally, given the availability of extensive official
data, a separate chapter is included on banking,
covering all modes of foreign investment in that sec­
tor for the 1974-76 period.

Sources
The information contained herein was derived
from a number of sources. OFIUS relied heavily on
the public record of Federal agencies which have
established over 140 report series. These reports,
whose frequency and content differ widely, are in
most cases filed in connection with the various agen­
cies’ general regulatory responsibilities, rather than
for the specific purpose of providing data on foreign
investment. Another limiting factor on the scope and
availibility of foreign investment information for
publication is that some agencies operate under strict
confidentiality requirements which prohibit disclos­
ure of individual company or transaction data and
permit presentation only on an aggregate basis.
The primary Federal agency sources were the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC ), and the Federal
Reserve Board. The SEC provided OFIUS with
13-D reports, which must be filed by parties ac­
quiring more than five percent of the outstanding
registered securities of publicly held U.S. firms. The
FTC provided nonconfidential information on cases
of foreign acquisition of both publicly and privately
held U.S. firms. The Federal Reserve Board pro­
vided regular reports on acquisitions of U.S. banks
and on newly established foreign banking subsid­
iaries, branches, agencies, investment companies,
and representative offices.
Additional foreign investment data were gathered
from newspapers, business and trade journals, and
other business reference sources such as the publi­
cations by Moody’s Standard and Poor, Dun and
Bradstreet, and Janes.

the first U.S. subsidiary of a foreign subsidiary of
a foreign parent which is in turn controlled by an
individual directly or indirectly through a personal
holding company.
Percentage of foreign ownership was determined
by multiplying the percent owned by the first U.S.
subsidiary by the percentage by which the subsidiary
is owned by the first foreign parent. For example,
W.R. Grace, which is 12 percent owned by Friedrich
Flick Group of West Germany, acquired 100 per­
cent of Sheplers, Inc. For the purpose of this report,
Sheplers is considered to be 12 percent foreign
owned. In cases where subsidiaries of the first U.S.
subsidiary were involved in the transaction, the de­
gree of ownership was determined by the same
multiplicative progress. For instance, in 1976,
Towne Paulsen acquired 100 percent of both Gen­
erics Pharmaceutical Corp. and Western Research
Laboratories. Towne Paulsen is 100 percent owned
by Aquitaine North America, a U.S.-based holding
company, which is in turn 100 percent-owned by
the French company, Elf-ERAP. Since there is an
unbroken chain of 100 percent ownership from
Towne Paulsen through Aquitaine North America
to Elf-ERAP, each of the companies acquired by
Towne Paulsen is considered to be 100 percent for­
eign owned. Had either Towne Paulsen or Aquitaine
North America been less than a wholly owned sub­
sidiary, the degree of partial foreign ownership
would have been reflected accordingly.
Acquisition refers to a transaction in which title
to stock or assets of the U.S. target enterprise is se­
cured by another person or enterprise. The substan­
tive result is that one party obtains ownership of
another. The term acquisition is used only in cases
where the foreign investor did not previously hold,
directly or indirectly, any equity interest in the tar­
get enterprise. If the foreign investor already held
an equity interest, and the effect of the transaction
was to produce a direct investment (10 percent or
more equity ownership) or to increase a direct in­
vestment, the action was termed an equity increase.
In this report merger refers to a transaction which
resulted in the dissolution of the acquired business
enterprise, either into another already existing or
into a reorganized (but not always renamed) com­
pany. Many mergers were executed under the ac­
quisition and merger provisions of the corporate
laws in the states in which the target companies were
incorporated; others were executed through the ab­
sorption of the acquired assets into the purchaser
or a unit of the purchaser.

Relationship to Other Data
The statistics presented in this report are useful
in describing recent foreign investment activities.
However, given the unofficial character of much of
the information, its incompleteness in many cases,
the varied and imprecise terminology used in report­
ing, and the absence of indications of clear time
frames for investment actions, these statistics should
be viewed with some reservations, and cannot be
compared with other statistical series published by
the Federal Government.
It is particularly noted that the data are not com­
parable with those developed by the Department of
Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
in its benchmark survey of foreign direct investment
as of yearend 1974, which was conducted under the
authority of the Foreign Investment Study Act of
1974 and submitted with the Department’s 1976
Report to the Congress on Foreign Direct Invest­
ment in the United States. Nor should these mate­
rials be compared with balance of payments related
data, published on a quarterly and annual basis by
BEA and based on a sample of U.S. affiliates of for­
eign entities. In addition to the characteristics of this
report’s data already noted, the source and timing of
capital flows are not indicated.

Methodology and Terminology
Foreign direct investment, as used in this report,
means the direct or indirect ownership of 10 percent
or more of the voting securities of an incorporated
business enterprise, or an equivalent interest in an
unincorporated business enterprise.
An investment is classified as completed when the
assets or properties involved have changed hands,
when construction has started for new or expanded
plants, or, in the case of joint ventures, when the
agreements have been signed. Investments are clas­
sified as pending when in the stage of tentative an­
nouncements of investment plans, negotiations, op­
tion contracts, tender offers in progress, letters of
intent, and actions awaiting approval by share­
holders, boards of directors, or regulatory agencies.
In the absence of confirming information, a judg­
ment has been made whether to describe a trans­
action as “complete” or “pending”.
In identifying the foreign investor, the corporate
structure of the investor was scrutinized in an at­
tempt to discover the ultimate controlling party of
the foreign investor. Thus, for example, beneficial
ownership would be traced back in a case involving

Joint ventures are transactions in which two or
more parties establish a new operation to which each
contributes according to the provisions of the joint
venture agreement.
Purchases are used herein to describe realty trans­
actions— the acquisition of real property other than
the assets of an operating business entity.
Plant expansion refers to an addition to the
capacity of an existing foreign-owned operating
facility. A new plant is a new operating facility,
established either in conjunction with an existing
foreign-owned productive enterprise or as a com­
pletely new venture.
The banking operations of foreign-owned enter­
prises in the United States covered by this report
are either new agencies, branches, or subsidiaries.
Agencies, the most numerous organizational form of
foreign banking operation in the United States, are
not allowed to accept domestic deposits and primarily
finance international transactions. Branches, integral
parts of the foreign parent banks, can accept domes­
tic deposits. Subsidiaries, separate legal entities, are
owned or controlled by foreign banks but are




chartered in the United States, either by the Federal
Government or, more often, by a state authority.
The three-digit Standard Industrial Classifications
(SIC) titles used in the appendices are considered
to be the best overall indication of the industrial
character of the U.S. investment activity and of the
foreign investor. In the case of a single product line,
the SIC title for that product was used. In the case
of multiple product lines, the SIC title which de­
scribes the major industrial line was used. In the
latter case, the titles used are a matter of judgment
and are subject to correction.
The most reliable sources for determining the
value of transactions were forms filed at the Secur­
ities and Exchange Commission; but they were use­
ful only for securities investments. Other values in­
dicated are derived from nonofficial public sources
and may not accurately represent the amount which
changed hands and should be considered only as
estimates of the value of the transactions. Also, it
should be noted that in most cases the total value of
a transaction is given, regardless of the source and
timing of actual investment funding.

Highlights and Summary
The review of all forms of foreign investments in
the United States during 1976 and of acquisitions,
mergers, and equity increases during the three-year
period, 1974 through 1976, indicates a continuation
of the high level of foreign investment activity which
began in 1973. The composition of foreign invest­
ments in terms of both foreign source countries and
U.S. industrial distribution remained essentially un­
changed. The major European nations, Canada, and
Japan remain the most active source countries, with
the majority of investments being in the U.S. manu­
facturing sector, particularly chemicals, metals, and
machinery.

Acquisitions, mergers, and equity increases ac­
counted for 58 percent of the foreign investments.
There were 93 instances of acquisitions and mergers
and an additional 23 investments which represented
equity increases by foreign companies in existing
holdings. In regard to foreign investments in com­
pletely new U.S. operations, there were 23 joint ven­
tures with U.S. partners and 41 other new invest­
ments including new plant construction and exparision and the establishment of branches and offices.
The remaining 18 investments were in the real estate
area.*
Taking into account those investments trans­
actions that involved plants or other facilities in
more than one location, the 198 completed trans­
actions accounted for a total of 467 specific sites in
41 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
Of these, California, New York, Texas, Illinois, and
Pennsylvania accounted for nearly one-half.

1976 Foreign Investment Activity: All Modes
A total of 263 foreign direct investments were
identified for 1976. One hundred and ninety-eight
of these were considered to be completed invest­
ments according to the methodology discussed in the
preface. The values of investments were available
for 114 of the 198 completed cases, and these
totaled $2.1 billion.
The traditional leading source countries— United
Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Canada, Belgium, Switz­
erland, The Netherlands, and France— accounted
for the great majority of investments, both in terms
of number of transactions and total value. As a
group, these countries accounted for 77 percent of
the completed transactions and 73 percent of the
total value. Only seven completed transactions were
identified involving the Middle Eastern oil-producing
nations. These transactions had an estimated total
value of $308 million.
Foreign investments were made in a wide range of
U.S. industries, with a concentration in manufactur­
ing, followed by finance, insurance, and real estate
as a group. The leading areas within manufacturing
were chemicals and allied products, primary and
fabricated metals, and machinery. Wholesale trade
was another sector with fairly substantial foreign in­
vestments in 1976.




Acquisitions, Mergers, and Equity Increases:
1974, 1975, 1976
During the three-year period 1974-76 foreign in­
vestors completed 342 acquisitions, mergers, and
equity increases in U.S. firms. Values were available
for 238 of these investments, totaling $4.4 billion.
Most of these transactions involved majority
ownership and a sizable number represented 100
percent ownership by the foreign parent. The tradi­
tional European source countries, Canada, and
Japan accounted for the greatest portion of these
investments. The United Kingdom was the major
source country for the three-year period. The num­
ber of transactions were roughly at the same level
in each of the three years, but the total reported
value of the investments in 1974 was double the
values for 1975 and 1976, reflecting generally higher
investment values overall during that year. There

should not be confused with purchases or acquisitions of businesses
engaged in developing, leasing, selling and owning real property which
are covered in the other investment categories.

were 122 acquisitions, mergers, and equity increases
in 1974, 104 in 1975, and 116 in 1976. Total re­
ported transaction values were $2.2 billion in 1974
and $1.1 billion in both 1975 and 1976. The manu­
facturing sector accounted for the bulk of the trans­
actions in each of the'three years, with chemicals and
allied products being the single most important in­
dustry group. Metals and machinery were also sig­




Foreign Banking Investment Activity
The 1974-76 period was one of vigorous growth
in foreign banking investments. Branches more than
doubled, agencies increased by more than half, and
the number of subsidiaries increased by a third.

Foreign Direct Investment Activity in 1976
The Office of Foreign Investment in the United
States has identified a total of 263 foreign direct
investment transactions that were initiated or com­
pleted in 1976. Of these, 198 transactions were con­
sidered to have been completed during 1976, based
on information available as of June 30, 1977. Value
information was available for 114 transactions total­
ling $2.1 billion. An additional 65 cases were termed
pending, either because negotiations were known to
be still in progress at the end of 1976 or conclusive
information to confirm their completion has not been
available. The discussion that follows deals with the
198 completed transactions. Although information
regarding the value of each transaction was not al­
ways available, extensive information usually was

obtainable for the larger and more significant cases.
Case-by-case listings, which include information on
all identified transactions—both pending and com­
pleted— are provided in the appendices.

Source Countries
Foreign direct investments in the United States
were predominantly by the traditional leading source
countries— United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada,
Germany, Japan, France, Belgium, and the Nether­
lands, as shown in table 1. Sweden also accounted
for substantial direct investments. In addition to
these 10 major sources, investments were made by
parent companies in 18 other foreign nations.

turing. Firms from the Netherlands made invest­
ments in several sectors, with real estate transactions
and an acquisition of a U.S. insurance company ac­
counting for over half of the total value.

U.S. Industry Distribution
Foreign direct investments in the United States
during 1976 were widely distributed throughout
major economic sectors. Manufacturing was the
leading sector, with 93 investment transactions, and
with value data available for 57, totaling $989.3 mil­
lion. Finance, insurance, and real estate as a group
followed with 49 transactions, of which 28 involved
a total investment cost of $702.7 million. Other sig­
nificant sectors were services (22 cases, with 13 re­
porting $49.9 million) and wholesale trade (11
cases, with 3 reporting $200.5 million). By number
of cases, investments were distributed 47 percent in
manufacturing, 25 percent in finance, insurance, and
real estate, and 11 percent in both services and trade
(wholesale and retail). Other industries accounted
for the remaining 6 percent. By value, the distribu­
tion was as follows: manufacturing, 47 percent;
finance, insurance, and real estate, 34 perecnt;
wholesale and retail trade, 11 percent; services, 2
percent; and other industries, 6 percent.
Foreign investments were made in a total of 45
two-digit SIC groups. As shown in table 2, significant
industrial categories included chemicals and allied
products, real estate, banking, primary and fabri­
cated metals, nonelectrical machinery, and electric
and electronic equipment.
The preponderance of foreign investments in the
major economic sectors and in the leading subsec­
tors was accounted for by the major European
source countries, Canada, and Japan, as shown by
table 3. For example, in manufacturing, the nine
leading source countries accounted for 87 percent of
all investment transactions and 91 percent of the
total value. In the chemicals subsector parent firms
from these countries made all but one of the 18 in­
vestments in 1976.
By country, manufacturing investments were led
by Belgium, which had substantial investments in
metals and chemicals. Germany made important in­
vestments in chemicals, motor vehicles (Volks­
wagen), and real estate. Switzerland’s direct invest­
ments were highlighted by the acquisition of Northrup-King & Co. in the wholesale trade sector, along
with an acquisition in the machinery sector. Cana­
dian investments were distributed primarily among
mining, machinery, and real estate. Investments by
firms from the United Kingdom were chiefly in
manufacturing, with a concentration in the machin­
ery field. Investments by French, Japanese, and
Swedish companies were also primarily in manufac­




Geographic Distribution
In 1976, 198 completed foreign investment trans­
actions involved 467 sites in 41 states, the District
of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Of the 198 trans­
actions, 60 percent, measured in terms of the loca­
tion of a headquarters or of a single facility, were
located in New York (49), California (30), Texas
(13), and Pennsylvania (13). Of the total 467 sites
involved, California (77), New York (61), Texas
(32), Illinois (30), and Pennsylvania (29) -ac­
counted for 49 percent (229 sites). Of the 76 sites
in California, Switzerland was responsible for 20,
primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Indian
Head, Inc. and Libby, McNeil, Libby. The only
other state in which a large number of sites were
involved in investments from a single source coun­
try was New York, where investments from the
United Kingdom accounted for 12 of the 61 sites
there. Three-quarters of the 32 sites in Texas were
accounted for by investments from France (7),
Germany (9), and the United Kingdom (8).
Overall, 76 percent of all sites involved in 1976
transactions were accounted for by U.S. affiliates
engaged in manufacturing and 16 percent by firms
in some area of finance, insurance, real estate, or
services (SIC 60-89). New York and California
were the leading states in the latter two categories.
New York had 26 sites engaged in the finance, in­
surance, real estate and services groups: 19 in bank­
ing, 5 in securities, 1 each in insurance and holding
offices, and 5 in services. California had 15 in these
areas: 3 in banking, 1 in insurance, 2 in holding
offices, 4 in real estate, and 5 in services.
Investors from the United Kingdom were the most
active of all foreign investors in 1976, with 36 com­
pleted transactions involving 84 sites. Japanese in­
vestors, with 28 transactions, accounted for 32 sites,
and German investors, with 26 transactions, ac­
counted for 58 sites. Eleven Swiss investments in­
volved 84 sites, including the acquisitions of Libby,
McNeil, Libby and Indian Head, Inc., which to­
gether accounted for 73 sites.

totals, both for particular source countries and for
the U.S. industries in which the investments were
made.
The United Kingdom accounted for the greatest
number of completed cases, 36, with three account­
ing for more than half of the $226 million invested.
General Cable Corp. of Greenwich, Connecticut,
which is 20 percent owned by British Insulated Cal­
endars Cables, Ltd., a large metal refining and
cable producing company, acquired the Sprague
Electric Company of North Adams, Massachusetts,
a manufacturer of electronic and electrical circuit
components, for about $68 million. BTR, Ltd. of
London, a manufacturer of rubber and thermo­
plastics products, acquired S.W. Industries of Provi­
dence, Rhode Island, a producer of rubber roll
coverings and other products for the textile and
paper industries, for about $30 million. Also, for
more than $20 million, Hanson Trust Ltd., a British
investment management company, through its U.S.
subsidiary, Hanson Industries, Inc. of New York,
acquired the remaining outstanding common shares
that it did not already own of Hygrade Food Prod­
ucts Corp. of Southfield, Michigan.
Of the other 33 United Kingdom cases, 19 were
in the manufacturing sector and had a total known
value of $78 million; 8 were in the services sector,
valued at $17 million; the remaining 6 transactions
had a combined value of about $12 million. Volkswagenwerke, A.G. of Germany began implementing
its plans to product its Rabbit automobile in New
Stanton, Pennsylvania, with an initial investment of
about $28 million. VW’s investment is expected to
rise to nearly $200 million by the time the plant is
brought into production. Four West German banks,
led by the Deutsche Bank of Frankfurt, combined
to purchase an 80 percent interest in the Pennzoil
Plaza, Houston, Texas, for more than $90 million,
and the Friedrich Flick Group purchased the Entex
Building in the same city for about $40 million.
These three investments, totaling $150 million, ac­
count for more than half of West Germany’s $256
million investment total for the year. In a fourth
case, American Cyanamid Co. of Wayne, New Jer­
sey and Rohm GmbH, Darmstadt, established a
joint venture company, CY /R O Industries in San­
ford, Maine, to manufacture and market products
for the acrylic plastic sheet market in the United
States. The venture, capitalized at $46 million, will
combine Cyanamid’s production capabilities with
Rohm’s research and technology. Twenty-three other




West German transactions were identified with a
combined known value of about $69 million.
Switzerland’s U.S. investment activity was domi­
nated by one of the largest transactions of the year,
the acquisition by Sandoz Ltd., a multinational
manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, dyestuffs and
agrochemicals, of the Minneapolis-based seed con­
cern, Northrup King and Company, for more than
$190 million. Thyssen-Bornemisza, Inc. of New
York, the U.S. subsidiary of the Swiss Thyssen
Group, an international industrial holding company,
principally owned by Hans Heinrich ThyssenBornemisza, invested $32 million to acquire the re­
maining shares that it did not already own of Indian
Head, Inc. of New York, an industrial machinery
manufacturer, plus another $42 million to acquire
the Peerless Pump Division of the FMC Corporation
of California. Of the remaining 8 identified Swiss
cases, 4 were in the manufacturing sector, 1 was in
mining, 2 in finance, insurance and real estate, and
1 was in retail trade.
From Canada, Northern Telecom, Ltd. of Mon­
treal, a subsidiary of Bell Canada, purchased the
Illinois telephone equipment manufacturer, Cook
Electric Co. of Morton Grove, for $30 million.
Canada Development Corporation, a large holding
company, which already owned a substantial number
of shares of Texasgulf, Inc. of New York, a diversi­
fied industrial products manufacturer, increased its
equity in the company with an additional $50 mil­
lion purchase of preferred stock. Another large hold­
ing company and real estate developer, Cadillac
Fairview Corporation of Toronto, invested $80 mil­
lion in four industrial parks, one in Maryland and
three in California, owned by Cabot, Cabot and
Forbes of Boston, Massachusetts. Sixteen other
cases, with a combined identified value of about
$27 million, covered a variety of industrial sectors,
including 1 venture in mining, 7 in manufacturing, 1
in retail trade, 3 in finance and insurance, 3 in serv­
ices and 1 in other industries.
Other major investment activity during the year
included a joint venture between Bank Omran of
Teheran, Iran and Joseph Canizaro Interests of New
Orleans, Louisiana to begin construction of Canal
Place, a complex of offices, hotels, retail malls, and
residential buildings that will ultimately cost over
$500 million. Although the specific financial arrange­
ments are not known, $250 million have been attrib­
uted to the Iranian interest, thus accounting for
nearly all of Iran’s investment total. The Australian
newspaper entrepreneur, Rupert Murdoch, expanded
13

into the U.S. market with his $30 million acquisition
of the New York Post Corporation, while the Brazil­
ian agribusiness company, Copersucar, purchased
the California food processor, Hills Brothers Coffee,
Inc., for nearly $39 million, one of the few Brazilian
foreign investment transactions. Petrofina, S.A., the
Belgian petroleum holding company, through its
U.S. subsidiary, American Petrofina, Inc. of Texas,
joined with Hercules, Inc. of Wilmington, Delaware,
to create Hercofina, to produce and market terephthalates (the basic raw materials for polyesters).
American Petrofina’s initial investment of $90 mil­
lion would ultimately double to $180 million. The
Ohio Steel Tube Company of Shelby, Ohio, a sub­
sidiary of the Copperweld Corporation, which is in

turn wholly owned by the French metals conglom­
erate, Societe IMETAL, began the first phase of a
plant expansion program at an initial projected cost
of $46 million.

Investment Modes
Investment transactions in 1976 have been clas­
sified in five major modes: (1) acquisitions (includ­
ing mergers); (2) equity increases; (3) joint ven­
tures with U.S. parties; (4) real estate purchases
and developments; and (5) “other new activities.”
The latter category includes establishment of subsid­
iaries, offices, agencies and branches; new plant
construction; and plant expansions. Data on invest­
ments by these modes are provided in table 5.

Acquisitions and equity increases accounted for
58 percent of the completed transactions. This high
percentage is believed to be in part attributable to
the reporting requirements on such activity at the
Federal level which presumably permitted more
complete coverage than for the other investment
modes. As discussed in the preface, information on
real estate transactions is particularly elusive, and
the 18 real estate transactions identified herein are
simply those widely publicized. Firms from the
United Kingdom, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, and
the Netherlands accounted for 59 acquisitions—

nearly two-thirds of the total from all sources. Ac­
quisitions and equity increases accounted for about
90 percent each of Canadian, Swiss, and Dutch in­
vestments, about 75 percent in the case of Belgium,
and nearly two-thirds of United Kingdom invest­
ments. Real estate investments reported were widely
diffused with respect to source countries.
Of the 75 acquisitions for which specific foreign
ownership shares were known, 54 cases were in the
greater than 50 percent ownership range. Thirtynine of these investments were 100 percent acquisi­
tions.

Acquisitions, Mergers, and Equity Increases, 1974-76
During the three-year period 1974-76, foreign
investors completed a total of 342 acquisitions of,
mergers with, and equity increases in U.S. firms.
Value data were available for 238 transactions,
totaling $4.4 billion. As noted earlier, these trans­
actions involved a level of 10 percent or more for­
eign ownership of voting shares, or the equivalent
interest in the case of unincorporated enterprises.
Actual foreign control of the U.S. firms cannot be
assumed in all cases. There was, however, a clear
pattern of majority ownership by the foreign inves­
tors. In the 313 cases where specific levels of for­
eign ownership were known, there were 233 with
more than 50 percent foreign ownership. Of these,
155 affiliates were wholly owned by the foreign
parent.
The leading source country for the three-year
period was the United Kingdom, with a total of 68
investments in existing U.S. companies. The 54 cases
for which values were identified had a total of $1.2
billion. The other major source countries were
Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Canada, Ger­
many, Japan, and Belgium. Sweden, Italy, South
Africa, and Saudi Arabia were the only other coun­
tries with significant levels of these modes of invest­
ment activity during the three years, although the
number and value of such investments from these
countries were substantially below those from the
major source countries. A summary of the invest­
ments in the form of acquisitions, mergers, and
equity increases from all sources is provided in
table 8.

U.S. Industry Distribution
Foreign acquisitions, mergers, and equity in­
creases in U.S. companies during the three-year
period were primarily in the manufacturing sector,
which accounted for 221, or about two-thirds, of
the total 342 transactions.
At the two-digit SIC level, electric and electronic
equipment (SIC 36) was the leading industry group
with 40 investments, with value data available for
32 totaling $745.9 million.
Nonelectrical machinery (SIC 36) followed with
34 transactions, with values available for 18 total­
ing $246.4 million. Chemicals and allied products
(SIC 28) had 33 transactions, with values available
for 17 totaling $425 million.
Mining, the finance, insurance and real estate
category, and wholesale trade were also important
major sectors for foreign direct investments. This
pattern held generally true for each of the 3 years.
The number and value of foreign investment trans­
actions in each two-digit industry group are shown
in tables 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Source Country Transaction Composition
There were 122 transactions in 1974, with values
identified for 84 totaling nearly $2.2 billion. In
1975, there were 104 transactions, with values indi­
cated for 76 amounting to rtiore than $1.1 billion.
Foreign investments in these modes in 1976 pro­
duced 116 transactions, with values available for 81
totaling over $1.1 billion.

Investors from the United Kingdom were most
active in these investment modes in 1974, engaging
in 33 transactions, with values available on 28 total­
ing $860 million, nearly 40 percent of total invest­
ments in these forms that year. The largest part of
this value was accounted for in a single transaction,
the $480 million acquisition of Signal Oil and Gas
Company of Texas by Burmah Oil Co., Ltd., a large




holding company. In other large transactions, Lloyds
Bank Ltd. acquired the First Western Bank and
Trust Co. of California for $115 million, United
Biscuit (Holdings) Ltd. acquired the Illinois bakery

throughout the major industrial sectors, with the
preponderance, 21, in various manufacturing cate­
gories.
British investments in these categories dropped
sharply in 1975, with only 12 transactions identified,
of which 9 accounted for a total known value of
$171 million, the largest being the $68 million ac­
quisition of American Chain and Cable Co. Inc. of
Connecticut by the large power generating equip­
ment manufacturer, Babcock and Wilcox, Ltd. Sir
James Goldsmith, through his holding company,
Cavenham (USA) Inc., acquired the New Jerseybased food chain, Grand Union Co., for $34 million,




while the Hawker Siddeley Group, Ltd., through its
Canadian subsidiary, acquired the Minnesota elec­
trical services company, Onan Corp., for $38 mil­
lion. Other smaller investments were made in the
wholesale trade, services, and in the finance, insur­
ance and real estate sector.
As discussed in greater detail in chapter I, the
United Kingdom accounted for three major acquisi­
tions in 1976: the $68 million acquisition of Sprague
Electric Company (electronic and electrical circuit
components) by a U.S. affiliate of British Insulated
Callendars Cables, Ltd.; the $30 million acquisition
of S.W. Industries (products for textile and paper

Dutch investments each year were dominated by
the actions of the multinational conglomerate,
Philips Gloielampenfabrieken. The Philips acquisi­
tion of Magnavox Co., the Indiana radio and tele­
vision manufacturer, for $135 million, accounted
for most of the 1974 acquisition value total. The
remaining transactions were in the electronics, chem­
icals, communications, petroleum and life insurance
industries.
In 1975, the Dutch made a series of acquisitions
valued at more than $20 million each led by Philips
Gloielampenfabrieken, which acquired Synetics
Corp. of California, an electronic components pro­
ducer, for $44 million. Philips also invested an addi­
tional $29 mililon in North American Philips Corp.
of New York and another $26 million in the Mag­
navox radio and television company. The insurance
holding company, Nationale-Nederlanden NV, pur­
chased the Wisconsin National Life Insurance Com­
pany for $24 million and Estel NV Hoesch-Hoogovens acquired the California industrial machinery
company, Envirotech Corp., for $18 million. Smaller
investments were made in the textile, publishing, and
chemicals industries.
German investments in the acquisition area num­
bered 15 in 1974, of which 7 reported values total­
ing $159 million. In 1975, there were 10 trans­
actions, with 9 providing value data adding to $197
million. The number of transactions dropped to 9
in 1976, with 4 reporting a total value of $47 mil­
lion.
Hoechst AG, the large chemical manufacturer,
acquired Foster Grant Co. Inc., a Massachusetts
producer of plastics products for $96 million in
1974. Eleven other investments were made in vari­
ous manufacturing categories. Germany ranked sec­
ond in value in these modes of investment in 1975,
with about 60 percent accounted for by the Fried­
rich Flick Group, which purchased a 12 percent in­
terest in the large New York-based, multi-product
company, W.R. Grace and Co. A corporation con­
trolled by Hugo Mann acquired the Fed Mart Corp.
food store chain in California for $22 million, while
Hille and Muller GmbH purchased a division of the
Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. of Ohio for $20
million. The remaining German acquisitions were in
the chemicals, miscellaneous plastics, and farm ma­
chinery industries. In 1976 there were moderate­
sized German acquisitions in retail trade and real
estate.
Other significant investments in the acquisition/
merger/equity increase category during 1974 in­

$230 million acquisition of ESB Inc. (electrical
equipment) by the International Nickel Co. No ac­
quisitions of exceptional value were recorded in
1975, but in 1976 there were three significant devel­
opments: the $30 million purchase of Cook Electric
Co. (telephone equipment) by a subsidiary of Bell
Canada; the $50 million increase in Canadian De­
velopment Corporation’s equity in Texasgulf, Inc.
(diversified industrial products); and Cadillac Fairview Corporation’s $80 million acquisition of indus­
trial parks owned by Cabot, Cabot and Forbes.
There were 9 French investments in the acquisi­
tion/merger/equity increase category in 1974, with
6 transactions reporting an aggregate value of $157
million. In 1975, 12 transactions were recorded,
with 10 reporting investments valued at $239 mil­
lion. The activity dropped in 1976, with 6 trans­
actions, of which 3 reported values totaling $49
million. The $76 million acquisition of a division of
the Arkla Chemical Corp. of Arkansas by Gardinier
SA was the largest 1974 transaction, followed by
the $37 mililon purchase of three divisions of the
New York-based Hawley Fuel Corp. by Usinor et
Societe Metallurgique de Normandie SA, a primary
metals producer. In 1975, the French accounted for
more than 20 percent of the total recorded value of
all identified transactions that year. The largest
French transaction involved the successful bid by
the diversified holding company, Societe IMETAL,
for the controlling interest in the Pennsylvania steel
producer, Copperweld Corp., for $75.5 million. In
two other successful bids, the Schlumberger family,
through their U.S. affiliate, Schlumberger, Ltd., a
company providing oil and gas field services, ac­
quired the Illinois manufacturer of transformers,
Sangamo Electric Company, Inc., for $63 million,
while the large government-controlled multinational
petroleum and natural gas conglomerate, Elf-ERAP
also acquired the New York petroleum company,
Westrans Industries, Inc., for $56.4 million. In
another transaction costing about $25 million, ElfERAP also acquired certain assets of Pruett and
Hughes Company, a wholesale petroleum distributor
in Arkansas, Mississippi and Kansas. French invest­
ments in 1976 were of lesser magnitude.
Dutch investment transactions in these modes
totaled 9 in 1974, with 4 reporting $175 million in
aggregate value. In 1975 there were 10 transactions,
with values reported for 6 totaling $141 million, and
in 1976 there were 8 transactions, with 7 reporting
a total value of $125 million.

eluded the acquisition of Indian Head Inc., the New
York-based textile company, by the Swiss holding
company, H.H. Thyssen-Bornemisza, for $97 mil­
lion; the purchase of a division of the Celanese
Corp. by the Belgian industrial chemical producer,
Solvay et Cie. SA, for $77 million; and the invest­
ment by the Italian Agnelli and Nasi families of $70
million in Bantam Books, Inc. of New York.
In 1975, major investments included the $25 mil­
lion acquisition of a division of Swedlow, Inc., a
California plastics products manufacturer, by the
Italian conglomerate, Montedison S.p.A. The AngloAmerican Group of South Africa, primarily through
its Canadian subsidiary, Hudson Bay Mining and
Smelting Co., Ltd., acquired Inspiration Consoli­




dated Copper Co. of New Jersey and Lena Chemi­
cals International, Inc. of Iowa for $36 and $21
million respectively. Finally, the Swiss food products
conglomerate, Nestle Alimentana SA, acquired
Libby, McNeil, Libby, the Illinois fruit and vegetable
processor, for $24 million. In addition to those previ­
ously mentioned, major developments in 1976 in­
cluded the $30 million acquisition of the New York
Post by Rupert Murdoch of Australia and the pur­
chase by Copersucar of Brazil of Hills Brothers
Coffee, Inc. for $39 million.
Tables 13, 14, and 15 provide a breakdown by

Foreign Banking Investment Activity, 1974-76
This chapter provides a detailed review of foreign
investment activity in the U.S. banking sector. Al­
though there have been a few acquisitions of exist­
ing U.S. banks by foreign banks or individuals, the
vast majority of foreign banking operations are
direct establishments of new entities in five basic
forms: agencies, branches, subsidiaries, investment
companies, and representative offices.
The choice of organizational form selected by
foreign banks varies widely in states which allow
foreign banking. Factors governing the choice are
objectives, country of origin, available capital, and
the differing powers, legal restrictions, and obliga­
tions of the basic organizational alternatives.

Federal and State Laws
The decision to enter the U.S. market and in what
form is influenced by Federal laws as well as by in­
dividual state laws which govern the entry and type
of permissible operation within the state. Federal
law makes no provision for foreign banks to estab­
lish U.S. representative offices, agencies or branches
in this country, but it does permit them to establish
subsidiary banks by obtaining charters from the
Comptroller of the Currency. However, a foreign
bank or other foreign company that wishes to estab­
lish a subsidiary bank in the United States must
obtain the prior approval of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System to become a bank
holding company and thereafter, is subject to the
provisions of the Bank Holding Co. Act. Thirty-six
states make no provision for the direct entry of for­
eign banks beyond representative offices. Fourteen
states, however, do have provisions for agency,
branch, or subsidiary operations by foreign banks,
including New York, California, and Illinois, and
the trend in recent years has been towards such
legislation.

Types of Organizations
Agencies are permitted to carry on general bank­
ing activities but not to accept domestic deposits
subject to withdrawal, sell certificates of deposit, or
exercise trust powers. They engage primarily in
wholesale banking and international transactions.
Branches, integral parts of the parent banks, can
accept deposits and engage in general retail bank­
ing, under state-imposed reserve and other require­
ments.
Subsidiaries are separate legal entities chartered
in the United States, but owned and controlled by
the foreign parent. They are subject to the same
regulatory, supervisory, and reporting requirements
as domestic banks and can perform the same range
of services as their domestic counterparts.
Investment companies perform some general
banking functions, but they cannot accept deposits.
Under certain circumstances, they may accept or
issue credit balances.
Representative offices are the most restricted form
of foreign bank establishment. They perform serv­
ices for the parent bank but do not engage in bank­
ing operations for their own account, serving pri­
marily as public relations devices.




Structure of Foreign Banking Entities
Foreign banks continue to occupy an important
position in the U.S. banking sector, although the
growth rate of foreign investment in U.S. banking
declined in 1975 and 1976 from a 1974 peak. At the
end of 1973, there were 124 foreign-owned banking
institutions submitting monthly reports to the Fed­
eral Reserve System. The reports were submitted by
62 agencies, 32 branches, 27 subsidiaries, and 3 in­
vestment companies. (The Federal Reserve does not
receive reports from representative offices.) Total
assets of foreign-owned banking institutions were
$37.3 billion, of which $31.4 billion were agency,
branch, and investment company assets and $5.9
billion were subsidiary commercial bank assets.
By yearend 1976, there were 202 foreign-owned
banking entities reporting to the Federal Reserve
Board on a monthly basis, an increase of 78 re­

T a b le 16 .—Foreign bank entrants by country and type,

porters from yearend 1973. Almost half of these
reporters began operations during 1974. Foreignowned agencies totaled 91, branches 70, subsidiaries
36, and investment companies 5. Branches more
than doubled; agencies increased by 50 percent; and
subsidiaries by 33 percent.
By yearend 1976, total assets of foreign-owned
banking institutions were $75.8 billion, an increase
of over 100 percent from the yearend 1973 level.
Assets of agencies, branches, and investment com­
panies were $60.1 billion while assets of subsidiary
commercial banks were $15.7 billion, more than two
and one-half times the yearend 1973 figure.

Foreign direct investments in U.S. banking in the
three-year period were made principally by parent
companies in Japan, West Germany, the United
Kingdom, and France. Sixteen other countries made
banking investments, including several from Spain
and Hong Kong. Table 16 summarizes foreign bank
entrants by country and type. A complete listing of
foreign banking investments in the 1974-76 period
is provided in tabels 17, 18 and 19.
