Radoff-JEC Group Sweetens Bid to Acquire Seer, Inc.
SEER sits 31% above its 52-week low of $1.55.
Summary
Activist investor Radoff-JEC Group has submitted a further improved proposal to acquire Seer, Inc., escalating the months-long battle for control. This follows a rejected $2.45/share buyout offer from Seer's own CEO and a proxy contest where all three advisory firms backed Radoff-JEC's board nominees. The new bid, details of which are not yet disclosed, signals the activist group's determination to take over the company outright rather than just reshape the board. With Seer's stock at $2.025, any premium offer could provide immediate upside for shareholders. The board, which has defended its strategy and maintained a poison pill, now faces a direct acquisition threat alongside the ongoing proxy fight. The annual meeting, where the contested board seats will be decided, is the next critical event.
