Activist Radoff-JEC Demands Seer Board Acknowledge Need to Go Private, Disclose Offer Timeline
SEER sits 36% above its 52-week low of $1.55 on light trading volume (0.1× avg).
Summary
Radoff-JEC Group, holding 7.7% of Seer, publicly demands the board acknowledge the company should be taken private and disclose a timeline for evaluating acquisition offers. The group criticizes the Special Committee as a sham, noting member Meeta Gulyani did not speak during their meeting and advisors were never disclosed. They also highlight the stock's 6% drop after Q2 earnings, arguing management's optimism is delusional given revenue of $3.1M and a $16.9M net loss. This follows the July 28 $2.55/share bid and the board's rejection of the CEO's $2.45 offer. The pressure is mounting for a sale process, with the activist now targeting board accountability directly.
