(Reuters) - Canadian bicycle maker Dorel Industries Inc DIIb.TO said on Monday it has agreed to be taken private by a group led by private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management in a deal valued at about C$470 million ($354.3 million). Shares of Dorel were up 3.5% at C$14.90 in afternoon trade. Under the terms of the deal, affiliates of Cerberus and the family shareholders of Dorel will pay C$14.50 apiece for shares of the company that the family does not currently hold. The offer price represents a premium of about 1% to stock’s last close on Friday. The family shareholders include Dorel’s Chief Executive Officer Martin Schwartz and Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey Schwartz, among others. The family shareholders currently own 19.18% of Dorel’s stock on an economic basis and 60.17% on a voting basis, according to the statement.
