Market Focus10-16 00:13

On October 16, Penske rose 8.54% in Regular Trading, trading at $211.38 per share, with turnover of $423 million.

The move followed the company’s announcement that it agreed to be taken private by Penske Corporation and Mitsui & Co. in a transaction valuing the enterprise at about $16.3 billion.

Background context shows the board had previously received a non-binding $210-per-share proposal for the free-float shares not already owned by the buyer group, which collectively held 72.6% of outstanding stock. The newly announced definitive transaction indicates Penske Corporation will own about 64% of the privatized company, with Mitsui holding the remaining 36%. Separately, the company also declared a 1.4% increase in its quarterly dividend to $1.46 per share, payable December 1 to holders of record on November 13.
