Mac-Gray Corporation (NYSE: TUC), the nation's premier provider of laundry facilities management services to multi-unit housing locations, today announced that its Board of Directors unanimously rejected an unsolicited written proposal from KP Capital, LLC to acquire Mac-Gray for $17.50 in cash per share.

According to the release: "The Mac-Gray Board of Directors has completed the comprehensive evaluation it undertook in response to the KP Capital proposal. The Board's evaluation process included a meeting among two Board members and KP Capital, multiple Board meetings, the assistance of two independent financial advisors, and a thorough, special review of the current and updated business plan from Mac-Gray management. Based on its evaluation, the Board has unanimously determined that pursuing the transaction proposed by KP Capital, or a sale process, would not be in the best interests of the Company's shareholders at this time. The Board believes that the Company can best maximize long-term shareholder value by continuing to aggressively implement the strategic, operational and financial initiatives currently under way as well as those specific initiatives contemplated in the updated business plan."
