* Says all other terms remain unchanged
Jan 8 (Reuters) - Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc said its unit Pebbles Acquisition Sub Inc extended its cash tender offer for Diedrich Coffee Inc by 20 business days.
Green Mountain, which had trumped a rival bid from Peet's Coffee & Tea Inc with its cash offer of $35.00 a share, said it was extending the tender offer to Feb. 5 from Jan. 11 and all other terms remain unchanged.
Last month, Green Mountain voluntarily withdrew its filing with the antitrust division of the Federal Trade Commission regarding its purchase of Diedrich after consultation with the regulator.
Diedrich is a licensee of Green Mountain's K-cup coffee refills used for the company's single-cup Keurig brewers. Green Mountain bought Tully's and Timothy's, two of the four Keurig licensees, last year.
Shares of Green Mountain closed at $81.85 Friday on Nasdaq.
