Wendy's rejects $1.4 billion take-private bid from Trian-led group, adopts poison pill

Wendy's independent board committee unanimously rejected a non-binding $7.35-per-share, roughly $1.4 billion proposal from a group of Trian Partners, franchisee Flynn Group, BlueFive Capital and Sixth Street Partners, saying it substantially undervalues the company and its Dave's Way turnaround plan. The board also adopted a shareholder rights plan with a 15% threshold that expires on November 3, 2027.

Two of six shortlisted Slovenian private-label food makers changed owners in 2026

Two of six shortlisted Slovenian private-label food makers changed owners in 2026

A buyer guide shortlists six Slovenian private-label food makers, from Incom Leone ice cream to plant-based specialist Organa, without claiming they control the country's output. In 2026 AGRANA bought Fruit Emba and Atlantic Grupa bought Osem, so supplier files need updating.

  • 01AGRANA completed its Fruit Emba deal on April 23, 2026 and Atlantic Grupa completed its Osem deal on August 31, 2026, so supplier records for those two plants may need new ownership details.
  • 02Register income figures for these firms are company-wide. Incom's €189.49m includes its own Leone brand, so it says nothing about how much private-label capacity is actually free.
