Starbucks recommends shareholders reject $88/share mini-tender by Tutanota

The company states: “Starbucks (SBUX) announced that it has received notice of an unsolicited “mini-tender” offer made by Tutanota LLC to Starbucks shareholders to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Starbucks common stock at $88.00 per share. The offer price of $88.00 per share is conditioned on, among other things, the closing price per share of Starbucks common stock exceeding $88.00 per share on the last trading day before the offer expires. This means that unless this condition is waived by Tutanota, Starbucks shareholders who tender their shares in the offer will receive a below-market price. This offer to purchase up to 500,000 shares by Tutanota represents approximately 0.04 percent of the outstanding shares of Starbucks common stock.”
