Ralcorp Board of Directors Unanimously Rejects Revised, Unsolicited Proposal From ConAgra
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 12, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- On August 11, 2011, Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: [ RAH ]) received a letter from ConAgra Foods (NYSE: [ CAG ]) with a non-binding proposal to combine the two companies at $94.00 per share in cash. The Ralcorp Board of Directors carefully reviewed the proposal, unanimously determined that it is not in the best interests of Ralcorp and its shareholders and has sent the following response:
August 12, 2011
ConAgra Foods, Inc.
One ConAgra Drive
Omaha, Nebraska 68102
Attention: Gary M. Rodkin, Chief Executive Officer
Dear Mr. Rodkin:
I received your letter dated August 11th and have discussed it with our Board of Directors.
Ralcorp has a very strong track record of creating superior long term shareholder value. After careful review, our Board of Directors has determined that the separation of Post Foods from Ralcorp will better allow each company to focus on strategies specific to their particular businesses, thereby unlocking additional significant value for our shareholders.
We are firmly committed to this plan and therefore, we have unanimously determined that we have nothing further to discuss.
Sincerely,
/s/
William P. Stiritz
Chairman of the Board
