WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) - An agency tasked with protecting retirees' pensions is suing the owner of bankrupt RG Steel.
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. is seeking $97 million in a federal court in New York to cover unfunded liabilities and plan contributions.
Renco Group allegedly dumped 24.5% of its ownership before the May 2012 bankruptcy, selling out to Cerberus Capital Management solely to avoid its pension obligations to more 1,350 retirees.
That cut Renco's ownership below the 80% threshold that makes it liable for the pensions under federal law.
Renco spokesman Andrew Shea tells the Wheeling News-Register (http://bit.ly/X8DrnS) the case is "baseless."
Renco formed RG in 2011, combining assets from the former Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel with Bethlehem Steel's former Sparrows Point mill in Baltimore and the former WCI Steel plant in Warren, Ohio.
