Why is the YouFoodz Shares Price Surging On ASX ?

This morning, YFZ announced has entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with HelloFresh SE (HelloFresh), under which it is proposed HelloFresh will acquire 100% of the share capital in Youfoodz for A$0.93 per share in cash by way of a scheme of arrangement. Cash consideration of A$0.93per share represents a significant premium of 82% to the last closing price of A$0.51 per share and a 109% premium to the one-month volume weighted average price (VWAP) of $0.44.

The YFZ board is known to have unanimously recommended the shareholders to vote in favour of the acquisition scheme. The acquisition brings a lot of synergies to HelloFresh and Youfoodz. Youfoodz alone is expected to generate an additional $150 million to HelloFresh’s revenues.

The markets reacted extremely positively to the news of the acquisition. YFZ shares closed at $0.905 a share, surging 77%. The offer price of $0.93 a share suggests that YFZ shares still have a little bit of running room left.
