Winnebago Industries Inc Gets $321.5 Million Buyout Offer From Alex Mascioli-Reuters
Reuters reported that Winnebago Industries Inc said it received an unsolicited buyout offer from racing car enthusiast Alex Mascioli, valuing the U.S. motor homes maker at $321.5 million. Mascioli's offer, made through his investment firm North Street Capital LP, is a 29% premium to Winnebago's Thursday closing price. Shares of the company were trading well short of the offer at $9 on the New York Stock Exchange, indicating investor skepticism over the deal. Speaking to Reuters, Mascioli said he had reached out to Winnebago last month and made an initial offer of $10.25 per share, which the Company rejected. North Street then sent a revised offer letter of $11 per share, he said. "If they respond to what we had asked with minimal non-evasive due diligence, then we might see further value in the company and possibly raise the offer based on findings from there," he said. Winnebago said its board will review any additional information relating to the offer and respond in due course. He said he has not had formal discussions with the Winnebago board or management, but has spoken with others at the Company. The company did return calls seeking further information. Full Article
