Brown-Forman Corporation: Sazerac’s $32 Cash Bid Rebuffed as Dual-Class Control Shields Valuation Disconnect

Sazerac restated an all-cash $32 per share bid to acquire Brown-Forman (NYSE:BF-B), offering to buy Class A and B shares. The proposal cites 2026 pro forma revenue above $12B and EBITDA above $3B. Brown-Forman’s controlling voting block, Wolf Pen Branch LP, rejected the plan as not actionable, citing family control that requires approval. Brown-Forman previously ended talks with Pernod Ricard.
