An additional 4.29 million shares will be made available at the same price to the investment companies who are managing the offering, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. (sole book-running manager), JPMorgan Securities Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC, to cover over allotments.
Although ACE shares fell over 5 percent following the announcement, closing at $35.40 on the NYSE, the offer price represents a sharp rebound from the lows reached after Sept. 11, when the share price briefly dipped below $20.
