Wendy's (WEN) Offer From Peltz, But Price Is Secret

The Associated Press writes "billionaire investor Nelson Peltz submitted an offer to buy Wendy’s  International Inc. (WEN), but the proposed price is below what he previously said the nation’s third-largest hamburger chain is worth, according to a regulatory filing Tuesday."

At one point, Peltz said the fast food chain might be worth $37 to $41. But, the shares trade at under $31.

Triarc Co (TRY), a company owned by Peltz, made the bid.

No one would be surprised if the number was below $34 a share.
