Dunkin' Donuts parent co. files for IPO
by Christina Rexrode AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - The parent company of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins says it plans to go public through an initial public offering worth an estimated $400 million, confirming weeks of Wall Street speculation.
Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. didn't say how many shares it will offer or when the offering will take place. But the company, based in Canton, Mass., did say in a regulatory filing that it believes it sees "significant opportunity" to expand in foreign markets and outside the Northeast U.S., where it is concentrated.
Dunkin' plans to use the proceeds from the offering plus a term loan to pay off about $475 million in debt and will use the rest for working capital and general corporate purposes.
