Men’s Wearhouse Rejects $2.4 Billion Takeover Bid from Jos. A. Bank

Men’s Wearhouse board rejected a $2.4 takeover bid from smaller rival Jos. A. Bank Clothiers on Wednesday, marking it as the second occasion when the company has turned down the idea of selling the clothing chain. Earlier in June, Men’s Wearhouse board fired its founder and biggest shareholder, George Zimmer, blaming him that he was forcing the board to make the company private. The offer of $48 a share implied a premium of 42% over Men’s Wearhouse closing stock price on Sept. 17, a day before when Jos. A. Bank privately pitched the offer to Men’s Wearhouse executives over a phone call.
