A new third-party consortium has offered to buy the company for $9 per share, a premium of 83% from where the stock closed Wednesday, Soho House announced Thursday. Shares skyrocketed as much as 66% in premarket trading — if the gain holds, it will open at its highest level in more than a year.
The offer is supported by Soho House Executive Chair and controlling shareholder Ron Burkle and The Yucaipa Companies, the private equity investment firm he helms. Burkle has been championing an effort to go private for most of the year as shares of Soho House have slumped since its initial public offering in 2021. The offer is conditioned on significant shareholders — including Burkle and Yucaipa — rolling over their equity interests in Soho House as part of the transaction.
Soho House’s board has formed an independent special committee to evaluate the offer, and said that no assurances can be given that its assessment will result in any change in strategy. The company said it didn’t expect to make any further public comment unless and until a transaction or alternative has been approved, or the company concludes its reviews.
Soho House also reported third quarter results Thursday, including $333.4 million in revenue, which nearly matched the average analyst estimate of $334 million. The company has four buy ratings, 2 holds and no sells, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
