Foodtastic Proposes Acquisition of MTY Food Group at 32% Premium
What happened
Foodtastic Inc. has proposed to acquire all outstanding shares of MTY Food Group Inc. for $43 per share in cash. This purchase price represents a 32% premium to MTY’s current share price and a 37% premium to its 30-day volume-weighted average price. Foodtastic made this proposal after MTY repeatedly rejected previous offers. Peter Mammas, President and CEO of Foodtastic, stated he has long respected Stanley Ma and the organization he built.

Why it matters
Foodtastic is making the proposal citing MTY’s declining EBITDA and shares that have underperformed peers. The offer provides a certain value to shareholders, and Foodtastic brings deep franchising and M&A experience to the potential transaction.
