McClatchy has a new all-cash bid on Tribune Publishing
that could emerge this week, according to
The New York Post.
The bid is backed by banking adviser Evercore,
The Post says.
It follows a rejected bid from two months ago
at $16.50 a share, including $15-per-share in cash and $1.50 in stock. The new
offer may be in the $15-per-share range, according to the source, The Post says.
McClatchy declined to comment, and Evercore
and Tribune didn’t return Post calls looking for comment.
A source said Tribune and McClatchy held talks
last week, the paper reported.
McClatchy’s properties include the Miami
Herald and the Sacramento Bee. Tribune Publishing owns the Chicago Tribune, the
New York Daily News and the Hartford Courant, among other publications.
