For a sum of $2.3 billion, MeadWestvaco Corporation is selling its papers business and associated assets to a new company controlled by Cerberus Capital Management L.P., a private, New York-based investment firm.
MeadWestvaco entered the agreement with the intention of creating a more focused company, while paying down its debt. The sale is expected to be complete by the second quarter of 2005.
