Seaport Entertainment Group Announces Rights Offering for Common Stock
10 September 2024 - 9:30PM
Business Wire
Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (NYSE American: SEG) (the
“Seaport Entertainment Group” or “Company”) announced today that
its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved a plan to proceed
with and fixed a record date for a $175.0 million rights offering
(the “Rights Offering”) to purchase up to 7,000,000 shares of its
common stock.
The Rights Offering will give Company stockholders as of the
record date the opportunity to subscribe for their basic
subscription amount of newly issued shares of the Company’s common
stock in proportion to their respective existing ownership amounts.
Company stockholders who exercise their respective full basic
subscription rights will have over-subscription privileges giving
such Company stockholders the option to subscribe for any shares of
common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the
Rights Offering, subject to certain ownership limitations. If the
aggregate subscriptions (basic subscriptions plus
over-subscriptions) exceed the amount offered in the Rights
Offering, then the aggregate over-subscription amount will be
pro-rated among the Company stockholders exercising their
respective over-subscription privileges based on the basic
subscription amounts of such stockholders.
The Company will distribute to each holder of the Company’s
common stock as of September 20, 2024 (the “Record Date”),
transferable subscription rights (the “Rights”) to purchase shares
of the Company’s common stock at a subscription price of $25.00 per
share. Each record date stockholder will be issued one Right for
each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock owned on the
record date. Each Right will entitle the holder to purchase a
number of new shares of common stock equal to 7,000,000 divided by
the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the record
date. Trading in the Rights on NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”)
is expected to begin on a “when-issued” basis on September 19, 2024
under the symbol “SEG RTWI”. Trading in the Rights on NYSE American
is expected to begin on a “regular way” basis on September 24, 2024
under the symbol “SEG RT” and continue until the close of trading
on NYSE American on October 9, 2024 (or, if the offer is extended,
on the business day immediately prior to the extended expiration
date). The Rights Offering is currently expected to commence
promptly after the Record Date and expire at 5:00 P.M., Eastern
Time, on October 10, 2024, unless extended by the Company.
The Rights Offering will be backstopped by Pershing Square
Capital Management, L.P., through investment funds advised by it
(“Pershing Square”). Pershing Square has agreed to (i) exercise its
pro rata subscription Right with respect to the Rights Offering and
(ii) purchase from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions
thereof, at the Rights Offering subscription price of $25.00 per
share, any shares of the Company’s common stock not purchased upon
the expiration of the Rights Offering, up to $175.0 million in the
aggregate, such that the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of
the Rights Offering would be $175.0 million.
The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Rights Offering
for general operating, working capital and other corporate
purposes.
A registration statement (including a prospectus) on Form S-1
relating to the Rights Offering has been filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) but has not yet become
effective. There may be no sale of the Rights or the Company’s
common stock, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time
the registration statement becomes effective. This press release
shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer
to buy any of the Rights, the Company’s common stock or any other
securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of
the Rights, the Company’s common stock or any other securities in
any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful under the securities laws of such state or
jurisdiction. The Rights Offering will be made only by means of a
prospectus. Copies of the prospectus, when it becomes available,
will be distributed to all eligible stockholders as of the record
date and may also be obtained free of charge at the website
