US billionaire Nelson Peltz and partners have offered $1.4 billion to take burger chain Wendy's private, proposing $7.35 per share, a nearly 20% premium over recent prices. The bid comes amid Wendy's challenges including rising beef costs, increased competition, and store closures. Wendy's acknowledged the offer and said an independent committee will review it, but no decision has been made. Peltz's firm Trian Fund Management holds a 16.3% stake in the company.
