"Starwood Hotels & Resorts on Monday announced it had received a rival takeover bid by a group of investors that valued the company at $76 a share in cash.
Starwood stock surged about 8 percent in the premarket, with shares trading right around that offer amount.
In November, Starwood entered into a merger agreement with Marriott International, under which Marriott would acquire Starwood in a $12.2 billion stock and cash transaction.
