Cerberus pulled its takeover offer for United Rentals of $34.50 per share, or $4 billion, last Wednesday. United Rentals said on Monday that it filed a lawsuit seeking to force Cerberus to complete the deal.

Cerberus said in a statement on Wednesday that it filed an action for a declaratory judgment against United Rentals in New York State Supreme Court seeking "to ensure that United Rentals honors" undertakings made at the time of the deal.
