Dunkin’ Donuts Parent Files for an I.P.O.
By DEALBOOK
It’s time to make the I.P.O.
The parent of Dunkin’ Donuts filed on Wednesday to go public, in what would be the latest initial public offering of a private-equity-backed company.
Dunkin’ Brands, which also owns the Baskin Robbins ice cream franchise, plans to sell $400 million worth of shares in the offering. But that number is used simply to calculate the registration fee.
The company, based in Canton, Mass., said it planned to use the proceeds largely to pay down $475 million in debt.
According to the prospectus, the company earned $26.9 million in 2010. For the most recent quarter, which ended March 26, it had a loss of $1.7 million, but revenue rose 9 percent, to $139 million, from the period a year earlier.
Founded in 1950, Dunkin’ Donuts operated as a subsidiary of Allied Domecq of Britain for many years. When the French beverage company Pernod Richard acquired Allied Domecq for $14 billion in 2005, it decided to sell the Dunkin’ Brands businesses.
Bain Capital Partners, the Carlyle Group and Thomas H. Lee Partners announced in December 2005 that they had bought Dunkin’ for $2.4 billion in cash.
The shares are set to make their debut on the Nasdaq market under the ticker DNKN.
When the stock starts trading, the directors, officers and major equity holders of Dunkin’ Brands are subject to a 180-day lockup on their shares.
JPMorgan Chase, Barclays Capital, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs are the lead underwriters for the offering. |
