Activist Radoff-JEC Group Escalates Seer Takeover Bid, Nominates Directors for Proxy Fight
SEER is trading near its 52-week low of $1.65 (15% above the low) on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
The Radoff-JEC Group, holding 7.8% of Seer, Inc., has publicly called on the company's board to reevaluate its $2.40 per share cash acquisition proposal, which includes a CVR and represents a 42% premium. This follows Seer's board's unanimous rejection of the activist group's previous offers, including the $2.40 proposal on May 14th. The Radoff-JEC Group has also filed a preliminary proxy statement to nominate three independent directors to Seer's board, escalating the M&A battle into a proxy fight. This move puts significant pressure on Seer's board to engage with the activist group or face a challenge at the upcoming annual meeting. The 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be critical for the proxy vote.
