周一著名的麥片制造商通用磨坊（美國通用磨坊食品公司系全美國最大的上市食品制造企業之一）宣布用約8.2億美元收購有機食品生產商安妮公司。此次收購的戰略意義是發展公司的天然食品市場。
“此次收購將顯著擴大我們在美國有機品牌和天然食品工業的占有率,在過去10年此業務領域銷量年綜合增長率為12%,“,通用磨坊的執行副總裁兼首席運營官杰夫在報告中提到。他說,“安妮在許多食品類別方面都很有吸引力和競爭力,特別是在方便食品和小吃零食，這是通用磨坊優先打造的兩個產品。”
自去年安妮首次宣布交易后股價盤后交易上漲了37%，通用磨坊選擇在此時收購將是明智之舉。雖然通用磨坊股票并沒有改變,但他們新的收購顯示了公司的影響力和公眾對他們的信任度。
與去年同期相比通用磨坊盈利至少上漲了20%。這筆交易會在今年晚些時候完成，但與此同時通用磨坊將支付每股46美元的現金,價格依據安妮2014年9月5日發布的消息，消息稱安妮月平均收盤價溢價51%,接近30.47美元。
安妮著名的兔形標志通心粉品牌以為很多人接受認可，去年2.04億美元的凈銷售額說明他們不只是一招鮮,吃遍天。伯克利的總部食品公司在美國和加拿大銷售近150種產品，并擁有35000多個零售點。安妮相信被收購后，借助通用磨坊公司的規模和資源肯定會有助于安妮股東價值最大化和改善擴張機會。

General Mills Buys Annies For $46 Per Share
On Monday the renowned cereal manufacturer General Mills announced the acquisition of organic food producer Annie’s at a price of approximately $820 million. The strategy is to develop the company’s presence in the natural foods market.
“The acquisition will significantly expand our presence in the U.S. branded organic and natural foods industry, wher sales have been growing at a 12 percent compound rate over the last 10 years,” reports Jeff Harmening, executive vice president and chief operating officer of General Mills. He continues, “Annie’s competes in a number of attractive food categories, with particular strength in convenient meals and snacks—two of General Mills’ priority platforms.”
This would be wise move for General Mills since Annie’s shares jumped up by 37 percent last year during the extended hours trading after they made the initial announcement. While General Mills shares did not change, the shift on their new acquisition shows the power that company has and how well the public believes the partnership will be.
And their profits are up by at least 20 percent from the same time last year. The deal should finalize later this year but in the meantime General Mills will pay $46 per share, cash; this price represents what Annie’s claims to be a 51 percent premium over their 30-day average closing price of $30.47, which posted on September 5, 2014.
Many people may recognize the Annie brand for their famous rabbit-shaped mac and cheese but their $204 million in net sales last year signifies they are not just a one-trick pony. The Berkley CA-based food company boasts the marketing of nearly 150 products with more than 35,000 retail locations across the United States and Canada. They know that “partnering with a company of General Mills’ scale and resources” will definitely help to maximize stockholder value and improve expansion opportunities.
