Smucker is rated Baa3 by Moody’s and BBB by S&P Global Ratings. The company will pay Hostess shareholders $30.00 in cash and 0.03002 J.M. Smucker shares for each Hostess share they own. That valued Hostess shares at $34.25 each, or a 21.8% premium over the prior session’s closing price when the deal was announced.
