Analysis · SVV · Trade & Services
Ares Funds are selling 20 million shares of Savers Value Village at $10.25 per share, a 4.9% discount to the last reported price of $12.29. The offering was upsized from 15 million shares announced two days ago, and the company is concurrently repurchasing 1,021,580 shares. The discount and increased size reflect strong selling pressure from the controlling shareholder, which has already driven the stock down 10% to $10.66. The company receives no proceeds from the sale, but the repurchase signals some support. The Ares Funds' stake drops from 76.14% to 63.59% (or 61.64% if the option is fully exercised), reducing their control but still leaving them as a majority holder.
