Analysis · SAFE · Real Estate & Construction
Safehold Inc. filed a prospectus supplement for the resale of 6,105,389 shares of common stock by affiliates of MSD Partners, L.P. The company will not receive any proceeds from these sales. These shares represent approximately 8.51% of the company's outstanding common stock and a full liquidation of the reported beneficial ownership of MSD EIV Private Vault, LLC and MSD Vault Investments, LLC. This significant institutional selling creates a substantial overhang on the stock and signals a lack of conviction from a major investor. This filing is a supplement to a new S-3ASR shelf registration statement filed today, which registered over 10.35 million shares, and replaces a prior, terminated S-3 from April 2023 that had 5.4 million unsold shares for resale, indicating a larger potential offering than previously registered.
