Kellogg Company (NYSE: K) strongly recommends that share owners not accept TRC Capital Corporation’s mini-tender offer to purchase up to 12,500,000, or approximately 3.1 percent, of Kellogg’s outstanding common stock. TRC’s offer price of $24.45 per share is less than Kellogg Company’s closing price on April 27, 2001, the day before TRC commenced the tender offer, and is less than Kellogg Company’s current trading price.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued an investor alert regarding mini-tender offers, which can be found on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm . The SEC has said that mini-tender offers “have been increasingly used to catch investors off guard” and that investors “may end up selling their securities at below-market prices.”
