Danone announced on August 1, 2025, its intent to explore an acquisition of Lifeway Foods for the third time. The two companies entered into a confidentiality agreement on August 1, 2025, to facilitate Danone's further review of a potential acquisition transaction.
Lifeway had previously rejected two all-cash offers from Danone, at $25 and $27 per share, citing undervaluation. The signing of a confidentiality agreement suggests a more serious and structured approach to potential M&A discussions.
This development reintroduces the possibility of a change in control for Lifeway Foods, which could significantly impact its strategic direction and shareholder value. The market will closely watch for any new proposals or outcomes from these renewed discussions.
