The Ingersoll-Rand Company nominated new directors yesterday for the Clark Equipment Company, a day after beginning a hostile $1.34 billion tender offer for Clark, a maker of construction machinery based in South Bend, Ind. Clark elects all seven members of its board at the same time. The votes will be taken at the company's annual meeting on May 9. Ingersoll-Rand, based in Woodcliff Lake, N.J., nominated directors who favored its cash offer of $77 a share in hopes of gaining control of the board and eliminating Clark's "poison pill" takeover defense adopted in 1987. The Clark board said the company was not for sale and filed an antitrust suit to block the Ingersoll-Rand bid.
