Pier 1 Withdraws Cost Plus Offer

June 25th 2008 15:36
Pier 1

From FURNITURE Today regarding Pier 1's offer for Cost Plus:

“We have concluded ...it is unlikely that we would be able to acquire a majority interest in Cost Plus at a price that would make sense for our shareholders. We continue to believe that, given our highly complementary businesses, the combination of Pier 1 Imports and Cost Plus would create significant value for the stakeholders of both companies."


Pier 1's stock suffered first from the offer and then by disappointing analysts with its latest quarterly earnings. The stock of Pier 1 dropped from $7 to $4 during the offering period. Today, the Pier 1 stock has rallied back to $5.
