The American Maize-Products Company said yesterday that it had reached a definitive agreement to be bought by Eridania Beghin-Say, a subsidiary of Montedison S.p.A. of Milan, Italy, for $430 million. The companies signed a letter of intent for the sale of American Maize, a tobacco and corn products company, earlier this month, but then said the agreement was incomplete. The announcement came a day after American Maize, based in Stamford, Conn., received an unsolicited bid of $225 million for its tobacco unit from Usaha Tegas, a closely held Malaysian company. Under the terms of the deal, Eridania, Europe's largest starch maker, will buy all the shares of American Maize's controlling shareholder, the GIH Corporation, a trust of the Ziegler family, for $40 a share.
