On August 27th, Burger King and Tim Hortons announced their intention to merge, creating the 3rd largest

QSR chain as measured by system-wide sales. The companies expect the transaction to be highly

synergistic, as both chains are nearly 100% franchised. The merger will provide Burger King with more

exposure to the increasingly popular breakfast daypart and assist in fueling growth outside of the United

States. Amid heightened scrutiny of tax inversion deals, Burger King says the plan to have the new

company’s headquarters in Canada is strictly about growth and has nothing to do with potential tax

savings.

Burger King and Tim Hortons to Merge

What We’re Reading

Leonard Green & Partners, the private equity group that owns Shake Shack via its Union Hospitality

Group holding, may seek a valuation for $1 billion or more for the upcoming offering. This valuation

would represent a multiple of about 50x 2014 EPS, similar to recent restaurant IPOs.

Shake Shack Targeting $1 Billion IPO

M&A activity in the food and beverage sector continued to carry momentum through the summer as

several headline deals were announced in late August. HW&Co. anticipates an active marketplace for the

remainder of the year as strategic and private equity buyers look to take advantage of current market

conditions and aggressively pursue well positioned food & beverage companies. Activity remains strong

in the natural/organic food industry, as General Mills acquired Annie’s. Further strategic activity included

Burger King and Tim Horton’s reaching an agreement to merge. HW&Co. continues to see new deal

activity, reinforcing the M&A market’s momentum. Equity markets are also ripe for food and beverage

investing, with Shake Shack’s upcoming IPO on pace to receive a $1 billion+ valuation.

General Mills Adds Organic Foods With Purchase of Annie’s

General Mills is acquiring Annie’s for approximately $820 million. Annie’s investors will receive $46 a

share in cash, 37% above its closing price on September 8th. Annie’s posted sales of $204 million in its

most recent fiscal year. That compares with about $330 million in revenue for General Mills’ organic-

product division, which also includes Muir Glen tomatoes and Larabar energy bars. Large packaged-food

companies are increasingly looking to natural and organic products to help spur growth.
