EVERBAY CAPITAL RELEASES FOLLOW-UP LETTER TO GOLDEN ENTERTAINMENT'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, EXPRESSING SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS ABOUT THE ANNOUNCED TRANSACTIONS
Concerns Over Sale Price: Everbay Capital LP criticizes the sale price of $2.75 per share for RemainCo, arguing it undervalues the company's operations and is a strategic move by CEO Blake Sartini to acquire it at a discount following a drop in stock price.
Call for Transparency: Everbay urges the Board of Directors to provide disclosures regarding the sale process, including whether other potential buyers were contacted and the rationale for bundling the sale of RemainCo with the real estate transaction.
Timing of Transactions: The timing of the transactions, announced shortly after the company's stock hit a four-year low, raises suspicions that they were designed to benefit Sartini at the expense of shareholders, who could have received a higher value by selling the real estate separately.
Request for Shareholder Approval: Everbay demands that the Board allow shareholders to vote separately on the real estate and RemainCo transactions, emphasizing the need for a fair process that does not favor insider bidders.
