Tether offers to buy majority stake in Adecoagro

LUXEMBOURG - Adecoagro S.A. (NYSE: AGRO), a prominent sustainable agriculture company in South America currently trading at $9.79, disclosed on Monday that it has received an unsolicited proposal from Tether Investments S.A. de C.V. to purchase a majority stake in the firm. The offer represents a significant premium to the current market cap of $987 million. Tether, currently holding about 19.4% of Adecoagro’s outstanding Common Shares, aims to acquire additional shares to reach a 51% ownership at a price of $12.41 per share. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued based on its Fair Value estimates.

The offer, presented to Adecoagro’s Board of Directors on February 14, 2025, suggests a tender offer for the outstanding Common Shares. In response, the Board met on February 16 to consider the proposal and has decided to seek advice from legal and financial experts to evaluate the offer’s merits and its alignment with the interests of all shareholders. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains strong financial health with a GOOD overall rating, trading at an attractive P/E ratio of 6.4x.

Adecoagro, with operations spanning across Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, manages over 210.4 thousand hectares of farmland and produces a variety of agricultural commodities alongside renewable electricity. The company’s operational strength is reflected in its solid financials, with liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations and a healthy current ratio of 2.4x. The company’s shareholders have been advised that no immediate action is necessary on their part concerning the proposal.

The proposed tender offer has not yet commenced, and the announcement serves purely for informational purposes. It is not an invitation to purchase nor a solicitation to sell securities. Tether will be required to file a tender offer statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when the offer begins, followed by Adecoagro’s filing of a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement in relation to the tender offer. These documents will contain vital information for the company’s stockholders, who are urged to read them thoroughly upon availability.

This news is based on a press release statement, and the tender offer materials, including the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement, will be accessible at the SEC’s website and Adecoagro’s official site without charge.
