Keurig Will Be Acquired by JAB-Led Group for $13.9 Billion

Keurig Green Mountain Inc. will be acquired by a JAB Holding Co.-led investor group for about $13.9 billion in cash, bringing a massive windfall to shareholders after a year of watching the stock get battered. Keurig, a maker of single-serve coffee brewers, will be privately owned and independently operated following the buyout, according to a statement Monday. The purchase price of $92 a share represents a 78 percent premium to the company’s closing price on Friday.
