Dow Jones News
Icahn Enterprises raised its bid for Pep Boys — Manny Moe &
Jack to $16.50 a share, or about $919 million, continuing its
tussle with Bridgestone Corp. for the auto-parts and repair
chain.
Pep Boys also said Monday that its Board of Directors had deemed
the offer by Icahn a "superior proposal" and gave Bridgestone until
Wednesday at 5 p.m. ET to respond.
In a statement, Bridgestone acknowledged the competing offer,
but said it continues to believe its deal with Pep Boys is good for
the combined businesses.
Pep Boys reached a deal in October to be acquired by Japanese
tire company Bridgestone for $15 a share, or about $835
million.
In December, Icahn Enterprises, which was involved in the
bidding process earlier this year, unexpectedly made a new offer
after the Bridgestone deal was announced of $15.50 per share, or
about $863 million. In response, Bridgestone and Pep Boys reached a
new agreement in mid-December at this higher price. Both deals
include a $35 million breakup fee.
