Nisource-Columbia Energy Deal Done
LCG, Nov. 2, 2000--Nisource Inc. said yesterday it has completed its $6 billion hostile takeover of Columbia Energy Group, saying the merger has created the largest U.S. natural gas distributor east of the Rocky Mountains, with wholesale and retail gas and electric operations.The new company's stock will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NI" but a couple of other financial page items will change.
