The fast-food chain’s biggest investor is apparently preparing a bid, and he has some help in the form of mega-franchisee Greg Flynn.

Wendy’s has been struggling with traffic to its restaurants lately, but its shares are zooming on continued interest from one longtime patron: Nelson Peltz. Peltz’s Trian Fund Management is working to put together an investor consortium that could bid for the Ohio-based burger chain, the Financial Times reported. Trian, a longtime Wendy’s investor that held around 16% of company shares as of earlier this year, in February said the firm had spoken to potential investors about strategic options, including potentially taking control of the chain and taking it private.

Wendy’s tells Barron’s it will ‘thoroughly review any proposal submitted by Trian consistent with its fiduciary duties.’

According to a report by The Financial Times, Nelson Peltz’s Trian Fund Management is assembling a consortium of investors that could include Flynn Group and Abu Dhabi-based BlueFive Capital.

Wendy’s (NASDAQ: WEN) shares rose 12% following the report. The company is the direct subject of the potential transaction. Trian holds a combined stake exceeding 24% in the company — a 16% personal position held by Peltz plus a 7.9% fund stake — meaning any formal offer would trigger a mandatory SEC regulatory filing that would set an independent director review process in motion.
