Farmer Brothers Coffee Co., a public Fort Worth company, is set to be acquired in an all-cash deal. <\/p>\n

The company \u2014 which made headlines<\/a> for relocating its headquarters to Texas from California \u2014 has entered into an agreement to be taken over by Royal Cup Coffee & Tea of Birmingham, Ala. <\/p>\n

With the deal, Royal Cup is paying $1.29 per share for the company, according to a statement<\/a> on Wednesday. That\u2019s below the close of $1.51 on Tuesday and puts the price tag at less than $30 million, based on the number of outstanding shares listed at the end of the quarter ended Dec. 31. <\/p>\n

The stock was trading at $1.24 around 1:40 p.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Farmer Brothers had already slimmed down<\/a> before this move, selling off its Northlake coffee facility for roughly $100 million in 2023. It also said its remaining direct store delivery business would move to its Portland roasting and production plant even as it maintained its headquarters in North Texas. <\/p>\n
