Seaport Entertainment Group Announces Closing of Rights Offering

Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (NYSE:SEG) (the "Seaport Entertainment Group," "SEG" or "Company") announced today the closing of its successful $175.0 million rights offering (the "Rights Offering"), which expired at 5:00 PM, New York City time, on October 10, 2024.

Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offering, 6,509,084 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock") are being purchased pursuant to the exercise of basic subscription rights, and, of the 7,575,528 additional shares of Common Stock subscribed for under the over-subscription privilege, 490,916 additional shares of Common Stock are being purchased. Overall, the Rights Offering was over-subscribed, with total demand of 14,084,612 shares.

In the aggregate, the Company is issuing 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock at the subscription price of $25.00 per whole share for gross proceeds of $175.0 million to the Company. The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Rights Offering for general operating, working capital and other corporate purposes. After giving effect to the Rights Offering, the Company will have approximately 12.7 million shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

"We are pleased with the results of the rights offering and the outsized demand for our stock," said Anton Nikodemus, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Seaport Entertainment Group. "We believe this is a strong endorsement of our strategy and high-quality portfolio, and we appreciate the support from our shareholders during this process."

Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offering, subscription rights holders who exercised their over-subscription privilege will receive the available shares of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock each holder subscribed for under the basic subscription right. Excess amounts for any over-subscribed or remaining fractional shares of Common Stock will be refunded to applicable subscription rights holders as soon as practicable via check without interest or deduction.

The Rights Offering was backstopped by investment funds advised by Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. ("Pershing Square"). Pursuant to the backstop agreement between Pershing Square and the Company (the "Backstop Agreement"), Pershing Square fully exercised its pro rata subscription rights with respect to the Rights Offering, and Pershing Square will also receive additional shares through the exercise of its over-subscription privilege. Because the Rights Offering was over-subscribed, Pershing Square will not purchase any additional shares beyond those resulting from the exercise of its pro rata subscription rights and the exercise of its over-subscription privilege.

Subscription rights holders who have participated in the Rights Offering should expect to see the shares of Common Stock issued to them in uncertificated book-entry form. Any excess subscription payments received by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the "Subscription Agent") will be returned by the Subscription Agent to such subscription rights holder via check without interest or deduction.

The Rights Offering was made pursuant to the Company's registration statement (including a prospectus) on Form S-1 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and declared effective on September 18, 2024, and a prospectus filed with the SEC on September 23, 2024. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the rights, Common Stock, or any other securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the rights, Common Stock or any other securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. The Rights Offering was made only by means of a prospectus, copies of which were distributed to all eligible rights holders as of the record date for the Rights Offering, and may be obtained free of charge at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Wells Fargo Securities acted as dealer manager in connection with the Rights Offering.
