SpartanNash has completed its merger with C&S Wholesale Grocers and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of New Mackinac HoldCo. Each outstanding common share was converted (with exceptions) into a cash payment of $26.90; the company also repaid its credit facility in full. Trading in the stock has been suspended, and SpartanNash has filed delisting and deregistration applications with NASDAQ and the SEC to end its reporting obligations. Board positions were replaced in connection with the merger, with the previous management retained in leadership roles; the company also recently beat analysts’ expectations for the second quarter. » More on de.investing.com

The 30‑day waiting period under the Hart‑Scott‑Rodino Act for the planned merger of SpartanNash and C&S Wholesale Grocers expired without action from the FTC, meeting a key regulatory condition. C&S withdrew and refiled its notification, restarting the clock. SpartanNash expects the deal to close around Sept. 22, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The company also reported better‑than‑expected Q2 results, driven by higher gross margins and contributions from acquisitions. » More on de.investing.com
