Dine Brands rejects $39.00 per share buyout proposal from Arkhouse, Cobblers Cove
Dine Brands said its Board received an unsolicited, non-binding proposal on October 26, 2026, from Arkhouse Management Co. LP and Cobblers Cove Capital LP to buy all outstanding shares for $39.00 per share in cash. After review with outside advisers, the Board determined the proposal was inadequate and substantially undervalued the company, and it informed the bidders by letter on October 29, 2026. Shareholders will not receive the offer unless a revised proposal is later agreed to, and the filing does not say whether the bidders will pursue one.
