MARTHA Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc finally agreed to sell itself. The agreed-upon price left shareholders disappointed.

The company founded by home-decor and lifestyle guru Martha Stewart said on Monday that it's being bought by Sequential Brands Group Inc for US$6.15 a share, or about US$300 million after subtracting net cash. For that price - a fraction of the company's peak market value more than a decade ago - Sequential Brands gains access to a media and merchandising enterprise with a brand recognisable to millions.
