"The corporate parent of Midwest Airlines Inc. (MEH) has spurned a $288 million buy-out offer from AirTran Holdings Inc. (AAI), but AirTran still hopes to acquire Midwest in order to build a larger, low-cost airline.
The offer to Midwest Air Group Inc. was at $11.25 a share, according to a source familiar with the situation. Oak Creek-based Midwest Air's stock closed Tuesday at $9.08, down 43 cents a share.
The offer - a mix of cash and stock - totaled $288 million, based on the number of outstanding shares. With debt assumption, the offer's value was around $311 million, said the source, who spoke only on the condition that he not be identified.
The offer was made in October. Midwest Air rejected the offer last week, after a Dec. 6 board meeting."
