The deal would have a value of $518.2 million based on the 14.1 million outstanding shares the company had as of Aug. 9.

The group, which includes founder and Chairman Lonnie C. Poole Jr. and President and Chief Executive Jim W. Perry, currently owns about 51 percent of the regional solid waste services company's stock. The group also includes Macquarie Infrastructure Partners and Goldman Sachs.

Poole and Perry have agreed to oppose any competing offers, while supporting that of their own investor group. The group said the company would remain headquartered in Raleigh, N.C. following the completion of any transaction.

Waste Industries said it appointed a special committee comprised of independent directors to consider the offer. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is assisting with the assessment process, the company added.

A completion of the potential transaction would be subject to shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions.

Shares of Waste Industries USA gained $7.39, or 26 percent, to $35.86 in midday trading. The stock reached a 52-week high of $36.40 earlier in the session.
