Post Holdings to buy remaining 8th Avenue stake for about $880 million net
Post Holdings agreed on June 3, 2025 to acquire the 8th Avenue Food & Provisions equity it does not already own, for a net payment of about $880 million that includes retiring 8th Avenue's debt. The deal is expected to close July 1, 2025, and either party may terminate if it is not completed by August 1, 2025, so shareholders will see a large cash outlay and a consolidated subsidiary if it closes.
Key points
- Net payment of approximately $880 million, including retirement of 8th Avenue's outstanding debt
- Post assumes $111.0 million of finance leases
- Sellers own about 99.8% of the Series A Preferred and Class A Common Stock plus all Class C Common Stock
- Expected closing July 1, 2025; outside termination date August 1, 2025
