Baker Hughes is reportedly on the verge of sealing a $13.6 billion cash acquisition of Chart Industries, a U.S.-based equipment manufacturer, as reported by the Financial Times on Monday.

This development threatens to nullify a previously announced all-stock merger between Chart Industries and Flowserve, a maker of flow control systems, which had valued the combined entity at around $19 billion.

As the high-stakes business maneuver unfolds, Baker Hughes, Chart Industries, and Flowserve have yet to issue official comments on the matter, despite inquiries from Reuters.
