This excerpt taken from the PBG 8-K filed Jul 8, 2009. Acquisition Proposal Advisory Fees On April 19, 2009, PBG received an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from PepsiCo to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock not already owned by PepsiCo for $29.50 per share. The proposal consisted of $14.75 in cash plus 0.283 shares of PepsiCo common stock for each share of PBG common stock. Immediately following the offer PBG’s Board of Directors formed a special committee to review the adequacy of the acquisition proposal. In connection with this review, the Company has retained certain external advisors and expects to incur aggregate fees in the range of $40 million to $60 million. For the 12 and 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009, the Company has recorded pre-tax charges of $15 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, relating to these services. |
