BATON ROUGE – Shareholders in Shaw Group will get $41 cash and stock worth about $5 for each share they hold under terms of a purchase by Chicago Bridge & Iron of the Baton Rouge-based company.

CB&I, based in Woodlands, Texas, said in a news release the $3.04 billion purchase will create one of the most complete companies that builds equipment to develop energy sources.

The $46 per share value is about 72 percent premium over the July 27 close of Shaw stock, which rose 68 percent in pre-opening trading today to $43.68.
