After completion of the offer, FBI acquired all remaining shares not tendered in the offer through a merger at the same price.

The transaction, as originally announced last month, was funded by Focus Brands using cash and funds borrowed under its existing credit facilities.

Focus Brands CEO Steve DeSutter said: “We are excited to officially welcome Jamba, a leader in the smoothie and juice category with strong franchise operators and an iconic heritage, into our family of well-known and highly loved ‘fan favourite’ brands.

“The addition of Jamba to the Focus portfolio of brands adds a premium beverage and lifestyle concept to our family of snack and restaurant brands.”
