Posner will sell half his 46.2% of the voting shares in DWG to a limited partnership controlled by investors Nelson Peltz and Peter May. The other half will be exchanged for non-voting preferred stock worth $72 million. Miami-based DWG owns a diverse group of companies including Arby’s, Royal Crown Cola, Southeastern Public Service Co. and National Propane Corp.
