Seaport Entertainment Group Announces Rights Offering for Common Stock

Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (NYSE:SEG) (the "Seaport Entertainment Group" or "Company") announced today that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved a plan to proceed with and fixed a record date for a $175.0 million rights offering (the "Rights Offering") to purchase up to 7,000,000 shares of its common stock.

The Rights Offering will give Company stockholders as of the record date the opportunity to subscribe for their basic subscription amount of newly issued shares of the Company's common stock in proportion to their respective existing ownership amounts. Company stockholders who exercise their respective full basic subscription rights will have over-subscription privileges giving such Company stockholders the option to subscribe for any shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the Rights Offering, subject to certain ownership limitations. If the aggregate subscriptions (basic subscriptions plus over-subscriptions) exceed the amount offered in the Rights Offering, then the aggregate over-subscription amount will be pro-rated among the Company stockholders exercising their respective over-subscription privileges based on the basic subscription amounts of such stockholders.

The Company will distribute to each holder of the Company's common stock as of September 20, 2024 (the "Record Date"), transferable subscription rights (the "Rights") to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a subscription price of $25.00 per share. Each record date stockholder will be issued one Right for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock owned on the record date. Each Right will entitle the holder to purchase a number of new shares of common stock equal to 7,000,000 divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the record date. Trading in the Rights on NYSE American LLC ("NYSE American") is expected to begin on a "when-issued" basis on September 19, 2024 under the symbol "SEG RTWI". Trading in the Rights on NYSE American is expected to begin on a "regular way" basis on September 24, 2024 under the symbol "SEG RT" and continue until the close of trading on NYSE American on October 9, 2024 (or, if the offer is extended, on the business day immediately prior to the extended expiration date). The Rights Offering is currently expected to commence promptly after the Record Date and expire at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on October 10, 2024, unless extended by the Company.

The Rights Offering will be backstopped by Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., through investment funds advised by it ("Pershing Square"). Pershing Square has agreed to (i) exercise its pro rata subscription Right with respect to the Rights Offering and (ii) purchase from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, at the Rights Offering subscription price of $25.00 per share, any shares of the Company's common stock not purchased upon the expiration of the Rights Offering, up to $175.0 million in the aggregate, such that the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of the Rights Offering would be $175.0 million.

The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Rights Offering for general operating, working capital and other corporate purposes.

A registration statement (including a prospectus) on Form S-1 relating to the Rights Offering has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") but has not yet become effective. There may be no sale of the Rights or the Company's common stock, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Rights, the Company's common stock or any other securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the Rights, the Company's 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 will be made only by means of a prospectus.
