Investing.com – MarineMax Inc (NYSE:HZO) is attracting a widening circle of potential buyers following an unsolicited $35-per-share cash bid from The Donerail Group. Blackstone Inc (NYSE:BX), Centerbridge Partners, and TPG Inc (NASDAQ:TPG) have expressed interest in the world’s largest recreational boat retailer, according to a Reuters report citing people familiar with the matter.
MarineMax stock rose 8.8% in Wednesday trade following the news.
The competitive interest surfaces as Donerail intensifies its campaign to pressure the MarineMax board into a formal sale process. Investor Island Capital Group and recreational vehicle retailer Blue Compass have also emerged as parties eyeing the company, Reuters reported.
Donerail, which holds a 4% stake, has publicly criticized the board for what it characterizes as a lack of engagement regarding its $1.1 billion valuation. “Our all-cash proposal to acquire MarineMax for $35.00 per share delivers immediate and certain value to MarineMax shareholders at a meaningful premium,” said William Wyatt, Managing Partner of Donerail.
The tension has escalated into a proxy fight ahead of the company’s March 3 annual meeting. Donerail is currently urging shareholders to vote against the re-election of CEO Brett McGill, calling the move a “referendum” on the board’s refusal to pursue a strategic review.
MarineMax defended its conduct yesterday, stating it has held three substantive calls with Donerail and provided a non-disclosure agreement to facilitate due diligence. The company noted that “Donerail has not yet executed—or even provided comments on—this simple, customary agreement” despite public demands for non-public data.
The board’s stance faces increasing scrutiny from other major stakeholders, including Levin Capital Strategies. Levin Capital, a top 10 shareholder, warned that “further delay on the part of the Board will force shareholders to hold directors accountable at future annual meetings.”
MarineMax, Donerail, and Levin Capital all have yet to respond to Investing.com’s request for comment.
