Soho House & Co Inc. (NYSE: SHCO)
Earlier this week, the Board of Directors of Soho House & Co
Inc. (the “Company”) received an offer from a new
third-party consortium to acquire the Company for $9.00 per share,
representing a premium of 83% to the closing price as of Wednesday,
December 18, 2024. The offer is conditioned on certain significant
shareholders, including amongst others the Company’s Executive
Chairman, Ron Burkle, and The Yucaipa Companies and its affiliates
(“Yucaipa”), rolling over their equity interests in the
Company as part of the transaction.
The offer, which is supported by Ron Burkle and Yucaipa, was the
result of a thorough strategic review undertaken by Yucaipa and its
financial advisors to enhance shareholder value, as Yucaipa
believes the inherent value of the Company is not reflected in its
current share price.
As a result of the offer and the fact that it is conditioned on
certain significant shareholders rolling over their equity
interests in the Company, the Board of Directors has formed an
independent Special Committee of the Board (the “Special
Committee”) to evaluate the offer. No assurances can be given
that the Special Committee’s assessment will result in any change
in strategy, or if a transaction is undertaken. The Company does
not expect to make further public comment regarding these matters
unless and until a specific transaction or alternative has been
approved or the Company otherwise concludes its reviews.
