Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights

On July 21, 2026, Utz announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement under which Intersnack Group will acquire all Utz Class A Common Stock for $14.25 per share in cash.

As a part of the merger, the Rice and Lissette family (as well as certain affiliates) have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 42% of Utz’ common stock in favor of the transaction. After the merger, the Rice and Lissette family group will own 50% of the post-merger company, representing an approximate 8% gain in their collective ownership. Public shareholders, who are being asked to vote to approve the transaction, have not had the same opportunity to roll their shares into the post-merger entity.

BFA is investigating whether the negotiation or terms of the merger may represent a breach of fiduciary duty by any of Utz’ directors, or by the Rice and Lissette family as potential controllers of the corporation.

If you are a current holder of Utz stock, you may have legal options and are encouraged to submit your information to the firm. All representation is on a contingency fee basis; there is no cost to you. Shareholders are not responsible for any court costs or expenses of litigation. The firm will seek court approval for any potential fees and expenses.
