Third Acquisition Proposal
The Radoff-JEC Group has submitted an improved, non-binding proposal to acquire 100% of Seer, Inc. for $2.40 per share in cash, plus a Contingent Value Right (CVR) representing 80% of net proceeds from any license, sale, or disposition of Seer's assets, including PrognomiQ.
-
Significant Premium Offered
The $2.40 per share cash offer represents an immediate 42% premium to the company's unaffected share price (as claimed by the activist) and approximately a 36% premium to the current stock price of $1.76.
-
Proxy Contest Launched
The activist group intends to file a preliminary proxy statement and accompanying WHITE universal proxy card to solicit votes for the election of three highly qualified director nominees (Howard H. Berman, Joshua S. Horowitz, and Luis E. Rinaldini) at the 2026 annual meeting.
-
Strong Criticism of Management
The Radoff-JEC Group criticized Seer's Q1 2026 results, noting a $15.7 million cash burn and meager $2.8 million revenue, and accused the Board of rejecting prior offers without engagement. They also highlighted the CEO's alleged track record of destroying over $1 billion in investor capital across multiple companies.

This filing marks a significant escalation in the ongoing activist campaign against Seer's management. The Radoff-JEC Group's third, higher acquisition offer of $2.40 per share, coupled with a CVR, provides a substantial premium to shareholders, especially in light of the company's recent poor financial performance. The activist's strong criticism of the CEO's track record and the simultaneous launch of a proxy contest to replace board members indicate a determined effort to force a sale or significant strategic change. The outcome of this proxy fight and the Board's response to the improved offer will determine the company's future direction and valuation.
