German Snack Giant Intersnack Takes Utz Private For $2.9 Billion

Intersnack, the German family firm, pays $14.25 a share in cash, a 91% premium over Utz's July 20 close.

  • $14.25 per share in cash values Utz Brands at a $2.9 billion enterprise value.
  • The offer marks roughly a 91% premium over Utz's closing price on July 20.
  • Utz's founding Rice family stays on as a partner in the private company.

Why it matters: A 91% premium paid overnight is the market conceding it had mispriced this company for years.
