ifeway Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LWAY#NASDAQ">LWAY</a>) (the "Company" or "Lifeway"), the leading U.S. supplier of kefir and fermented probiotic products to support the microbiome, today provided additional information regarding the reasons that its Board of Directors rejected the revised unsolicited proposal made on November 15, 2024 by Danone North America PBC ("Danone") to acquire all the shares of Lifeway that it does not already own for $27.00 per share.

The Board has carefully evaluated the Company's standalone plan&nbsp;and believes it has strong potential to provide superior value to all shareholders as compared to Danone's revised proposal. The Board takes its fiduciary duties seriously and is committed to acting in the best interests of all of the Company's shareholders and other stakeholders.

The proposal on November 15 offered $27.00 per share to acquire all of Lifeway&#8217;s shares that Danone does not already own.
After careful evaluation, including consultations with independent financial and legal advisors, the Lifeway Board determined that the offer significantly undervalued the company and was not in the best interests of Lifeway&#8217;s shareholders or other stakeholders.

On&nbsp;November 5, 2024, Lifeway announced that its Board had rejected Danone&#8217;s initial unsolicited, non-binding proposal of&nbsp;$25.00&nbsp;per share, citing that it <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41745068" rel="noreferrer noopener">substantially undervalued the company.</a>
Lifeway said it remains committed to its strategic plan of expanding its kefir offerings while also branching into adjacent product categories.

The company reported growth in its third-quarter 2024 results, achieving its 20th consecutive quarter of growth with double-digit year-over-year revenue growth and improved profit margins.
Lifeway said it generated a total shareholder return of 788% over the past five years, vastly outperforming its food and beverage industry peers and the S&amp;P 500.
In line with its growth momentum, Lifeway has also announced the launch of a new functional beverage: Probiotic Smoothie + Collagen <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42089631/lifeway-foods-announces-latest-innovation-probiotic-smoothie-collagen" rel="noreferrer noopener">made with kefir cultures. </a>This product comes in four flavors—Matcha Latte, Berry Blast, Tropical Fruit, and Plain—and contains 5 grams of collagen per serving.

Why Revelation Biosciences Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 49%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Lifeway Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LWAY#NASDAQ">LWAY</a>) ("Lifeway" or the "Company"), a leading U.S. supplier of kefir and fermented probiotic products to support the microbiome, today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has rejected the unsolicited proposal made on September 23, 2024 by Danone North America PBC ("Danone") to acquire all the shares of Lifeway that it does not already own for $25.00 per share.
After careful and thorough consideration, conducted in consultation with its independent financial and legal advisors, the Board determined that Danone's opportunistic proposal substantially undervalues Lifeway and is not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders or other stakeholders. In addition, in response to Danone's proposal and its substantial ownership position in the Company, the Board adopted a limited duration shareholder rights plan, effective immediately (the "Rights Plan").
