Warren Buffet and 3G Capital are buying out Heinz in its entirety by offering $ 72.50 per share to current shareholders, whether they want it or not. This means that Heinz will be taken private, its shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
I think it is not out of the question to see Heinz reappear on the stock market in a few years. After all, 3G Capital bought Burger King a few years ago and recently reintroduced it on the stock market. By then, Warren Buffet and 3G will be helping themselves to the cash register since, as the new owners, they will be able to freely decide on the amount of the dividend!
