Wendy's拒绝Trian牵头的14亿美元收购提议
Wendy's rejects $1.4 billion takeover proposal from Nelson Peltz’s Trian
Wendy's拒绝了由Nelson Peltz旗下Trian Fund Management牵头的投资者团体提出的14亿美元收购要约,该团体拟以每股7.35美元现金将公司私有化。董事会委员会认为报价大幅低估公司价值,且未体现持续扭转战略的潜在收益。Wendy's同时公布第三季度业绩,同店销售额连续第七个季度下滑,但季度盈利和营收均超过华尔街预期。

Wendy's on Thursday said that it is rejecting a $1.4 billion takeover offer from a group of investors led by Nelson Peltz's Trian Fund Management.
The group offered $7.35 per share in cash on Oct. 28 to take the struggling burger chain private. In addition to Trian, it included investment firms BlueFive Capital and Sixth Street Partners, plus Flynn Group, one of Wendy's largest franchisees.
In February, Wendy's board formed a committee of independent directors to assess any potential bid from Trian in response to a regulatory filing from the firm. The committee found that the proposal "substantially undervalues" Wendy's and does not reflect potential gains from the chain's ongoing turnaround strategy, the company said in a press release on Thursday.
Trian declined to comment on Wendy's decision.
The company also reported its third-quarter results on Thursday. Its same-stores declined for the seventh straight quarter. However, its quarterly earnings and revenue topped Wall Street's expectations.
