Reuters reported earlier this month that SeaWorld, a Florida-based theme park and entertainment company, had offered to buy Cedar Fair for $3.4 billion in cash, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Cedar Fair had a market value of $3.5 billion, as of Tuesday’s close.

Sandusky, Ohio-based Cedar Fair had rejected a takeover offer of $4 billion, or about $70 per share, from larger peer Six Flags (NYSE:SIX) Entertainment Corp in 2019. (https://reut.rs/3HmbhUX)
