On June 27, 2018, Conagra announced the acquisition of Pinnacle Foods, Inc. ("Pinnacle"), in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $10.9 billion. On or about October 9, 2018, in order to partially finance the pending acquisition of Pinnacle, Conagra effectuated a secondary public offering of 16,312,057 shares of common stock, priced at $35.25 per share, raising net proceeds of approximately $612 million. Just weeks after the closing of the merger, on December 20, 2018, Conagra stunned the market by releasing its third quarter 2018 results, as well as an update on the performance of the newly merged company, which revealed that Pinnacle's performance had been much worse than previously represented. In addition, Conagra revealed that Pinnacle's three leading brands had "suffered sales and distribution losses" in 2018 and accounted "for the vast majority of Pinnacle's current challenges."
Following these disclosures, Conagra's stock price fell $8.13 per share over the following three trading sessions, or roughly 30%, to close at $20.96 per share on December 24, 2018.
