"Weber shares soared Monday after the grill maker announced it has
reached an agreement with BDT Capital Partners to be taken private.
BDT will purchase all the outstanding class A shares it doesn’t
already own in Weber (ticker: WEBR) for $8.05 a share.
The deal, with an implied enterprise value of $3.7 billion, is
expected to close in the first half of next year. The purchase price
is a premium of 60% to the closing price of Weber on Oct. 24.
“For over a decade, BDT has been a longstanding strategic partner
for Weber. With their continued support, our global team will move
forward in executing our long-term strategy with consumers and
customers as our top priorities,” said interim Weber CEO Alan Matula
in a statement.
Weber stock was up 23.3% on Monday to $8.02. Including the session’s
gains, the shares have tumbled 38% this year."
