J.M. Smucker Co. agreed to acquire Hostess Brands Inc., the maker of Twinkies snack cakes, for about $5.6 billion, including $900 million in debt.

Investors will get $34.25 in cash and stock for each Hostess Brands share, according to a statement on Monday. The price represents a 22% premium to Hostess’ closing price on Sept. 8.

Shares of Hostess Brands have surged more than 26% since before Aug. 25, when Reuters reported the company was exploring a sale after fielding takeover interest from major snack food makers. The firm had a market value of about $3.7 billion as of the end of last week.
