Bisco Extends Offer for Steak Houses

(Dow Jones)

Bisco Industries Inc. said Monday that it has extended to June 13 its cash tender offer for up to 2.6 million shares of Family Steak Houses of Florida Inc.

In a press release, Bisco said 2.4 million shares had been tendered under the 90 cents-a-share offer as of May 23. The Family Steak Houses board has urged shareholders to reject the Bisco offer as too low.

Bisco, a distributor of fasteners and electronic components, is also trying to repeal a Family Steak Houses poison pill adopted since Bisco began its hostile takeover bid. Family Steak Houses operates Ryan’s Family Steakhouse franchises in Florida.
