Simmons Won’t Pursue Georgia Gulf: Investor Harold C. Simmons ended his $1.1-billion tender offer for Georgia Gulf Corp. and ended a planned proxy fight for control of the chemical company’s board. A spokesman for Simmons’ NL Industries Inc. said he will back a Georgia-Pacific recapitalization plan at its April 19 annual meeting.
