Pattern Group Plunges 12% as Major Shareholder Offloads 9.2M Shares
PTRN has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $8.92.
Summary
Pattern Group shares plunged 12% today following the announcement of a secondary stock offering. An entity affiliated with Knox Lane, a director-affiliated shareholder, is selling 8 million shares, with underwriters having an option for an additional 1.2 million shares, totaling 9.2 million shares. This offering, from which Pattern Group will receive no proceeds, follows an S-1 filing earlier today that registered the sale. The significant increase in share supply from a major shareholder, without capital infusion for the company, is driving negative market sentiment.
