Plant-Based Snackmaker Chooses Acquisition Path, Shares Surge On News
As companies grow, they inevitably reach a crossroads. When acquisition offers begin to surface, leadership must decide whether to accept a buyout or continue building the business independently. There’s no universally correct answer, the decision comes down to timing, alignment with the right partner, and the opportunity at hand. Today, one dually listed micro-cap chose the acquisition route.</p></p>Shares of TRUBAR Inc. <a href="https://www.allpennystocks.com/stockquote/TRBR:CA" target="_blank"><strong>(TSX-Venture: TRBR)</strong></a> <a href="https://www.allpennystocks.com/stockquote/TRBRF" target="_blank"><strong>(OTCQX: TRBRF)</strong></a> are rallying on news that the company, known for its clean-label, plant-based protein snacks, has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by 1564128 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, an affiliate of leading Turkish consumer goods group ETİ Gıda.

Shareholders will receive C$1.64 per share in cash, valuing the transaction at roughly C$201 million. This offer reflects a 64% premium over TRUBAR’s last closing price of $1.00 on the TSX Venture Exchange and a 102% premium compared to the 60-day volume-weighted average price.</p></p>Kingsley Ward, TRUBAR's Executive Chairman, commented: "This proposed acquisition represents a significant milestone for our company and delivers on our commitment to creating strong value for shareholders.

I am incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished in building a strong brand presence in the protein bar market.
