*An independent committee said the Trian-led bid undervalues the company. The Frosty remained neutral.*

DUBLIN, Ohio—Wendy's said Nov. 5 that an independent board committee unanimously rejected a Trian Partners-led group's proposal to buy the shares it does not own for $7.35 each in cash, saying it substantially undervalues the company and its Dave's Way plan. The board also adopted a one-year shareholder rights plan.

A fictional Frosty, asked for comment, said it was not for sale at any price and also, separately, was available in a medium.

The Daily SKU is satire. Headlines and stories riff on real e-commerce, CPG and retail news, but the people, quotes, studies, surveys and most numbers are invented. No real person’s words are made up here. Each article ends with a factual “The Real Story” box and a “Riffing on” line linking the genuine reporting. Not investment advice. Not any kind of advice.
