Hexion Specialty Chemicals Inc. has sued to get out of its $10.6 billion deal to buy Huntsman Corp. claiming the merged company would be insolvent.
When Hexion, which is owned by Apollo Management LP, disclosed the suit after the market closed Wednesday, it confirmed long-running suspicions the deal might fall apart.

It could be extended further, to October under some circumstances.
