Mars To Buy Kellanova For $36B, Snickers Maker Moves Up A Rank On Largest Private Company List
Other notable American private companies that did not break the top five include Mars — the packaged food conglomerate that owns Snickers, Cheez-It and other snack brands — will soon add Pop-Tarts, Eggo Waffles, Pringles and more to its portfolio.
What Happened: The McLean, Virginia-based company is set to acquire Kellanova (NYSE:K) for $36 billion, or $83.50 a share.
火星公司是一家包装食品联合企业，拥有太妃糖、Cheez-It和其他零食品牌，不久还将加入Pop-Tarts、Eggo Waffles、Pringles等品牌。
发生了什么：总部位于弗吉尼亚州麦克林的公司将以每股83.50美元的价格，斥资360亿美元收购Kellanova (纽交所:K)。
Kellanova brought in around $13 billion in revenue last year, while Mars' annual revenue was around $45 billion. The two companies were reportedly working out the details earlier this month after Kellanova reported strong second-quarter results.
Kellanova去年营业额约为130亿美元，而火星的年营业收入约为450亿美元。两家公司据报道在本月早些时候商量细节，此次交易如果在2025年之前完成，将帮助火星超越Publix，成为美国第三大私营公司，排名前五的最大美国私营公司如下：
