Emphasizes that Stockholders Cannot Trust CEO Omid Farokhzad, M.D. and the Incumbent Board to Create Value for Stockholders Based on Their Record of Chronic Financial Underperformance and Stockholder Value Destruction<\/i><\/p>\n
Urges Seer\u2019s Independent Directors and Financial Advisor to Reevaluate the Radoff-JEC Group\u2019s Proposal in Advance of May 2nd<\/sup> Expiration<\/i><\/p>\n Reaffirms its Commitment to Holding the Board Accountable by Electing Three Highly Qualified, Independent Directors Who Are Best Suited to Rebuilding Value at Seer and Overseeing a Credible Strategic Review Process for the Benefit of All Stockholders<\/i><\/p>\n HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)– \n\u201cThe rejection of our improved acquisition proposal is the latest evidence that the Board is not acting in the best interests of all stockholders, the true owners of Seer. Our proposal is fully financed and provides stockholders immediate cash at a 39% premium to Seer\u2019s unaffected stock price, as well as an opportunity to benefit considerably from the monetization of the Company\u2019s assets. More importantly, our proposal offers investors a superior path to the one provided by Seer\u2019s continuing abysmal performance under the current leadership team.<\/p>\n \nTrue to form, the Board \u2013 through its financial advisor, Perella Weinberg Partners LP \u2013 declined to engage with us to learn about our proposal or negotiate a transaction. Based on the Board\u2019s statement that our proposal \u2018fails to reflect the value of Seer\u2019s platform,\u2019 it seems the Board did not properly understand the contingent value right included in our proposal, as any value in Seer\u2019s assets would be unlocked via the auction process we intend to run for the benefit of all stockholders. Furthermore, in its rejection, the Board expressed its confidence \u2018that Seer\u2019s strategy, platform and team will create value well in excess of the proposal.\u2019 Given that Seer has produced negligible growth over the past half-decade, stockholders have every reason to distrust that this Board and management team are capable of delivering on this promise.<\/p>\n \nCEO Omid Farokhzad, M.D. has destroyed more than $1 billion in investor capital across Seer, BIND Therapeutics, Selecta Biosciences, Tarveda Therapeutics and Senti Biosciences. In each of these cases, the company either went bankrupt or the share price declined more than 90% \u2013 or, in some cases, both. An analysis of Dr. Farokhzad\u2019s stock sales and compensation at these companies shows that he generally made money while other investors lost money, and in multiple instances, he departed his roles, freeing him to dump his shares, before these companies suffered financial distress.<\/p>\n \nSeer is no exception to Dr. Farokhzad\u2019s track record. Under his leadership, Seer has failed on every metric, including a share price decline of over 90% since its IPO,1<\/sup> more than $465 million2<\/sup> in cumulative reported losses and virtually no revenue growth. At the same time, Dr. Farokhzad has sold over $103 million worth of Seer shares. In other words, Dr. Farokhzad has personally sold nearly as much stock as the Company\u2019s current entire market capitalization.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \nIt should be clear that saying \u2018Trust us\u2019 is not a good enough response from this Board given Dr. Farokhzad\u2019s track record in general and specifically at Seer over the past half-decade. In its evaluation of our proposal, we do not believe the Board should consider or rely on any projections, statements or analysis from Dr. Farokhzad. While we respect director Robert Langer, Sc.D. as a scientist, nobody should understand this statement better than him. After all, he has had a front-row seat to each of Dr. Farokhzad\u2019s five spectacular failures.<\/p>\n \nOur improved offer does not expire until May 2, 2026, and we urge the independent members of the Board and its financial advisor to engage with us and negotiate a transaction that will benefit all stockholders while rescuing the Company from its inevitable destruction\u00a0\u2013 if it follows the trajectory of Dr. Farokhzad\u2019s other companies \u2013 under Dr. Farokhzad\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n \nWhether the Board engages with us or not, at this year\u2019s Annual Meeting, we will give stockholders the opportunity to hold the incumbent Board accountable for years of value destruction and poor operating results. Stockholders will be able to elect three new, independent and qualified directors \u2013 Howard H. Berman, Joshua S. Horowitz and Luis E. Rinaldini \u2013 who bring the requisite public company governance, capital allocation and M&A expertise to rebuild value at Seer and oversee a credible strategic review process for the benefit of all stockholders.\u201d<\/p>\n CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PARTICIPANTS<\/b><\/p>\n \nBradley L.
