Portfolio Pulse from Happy Mohamed
Sculptor Capital Management (SCU) has rejected a series of revised, unsolicited proposals from a consortium led by the founder of 'Bidder J'. The company's special committee concluded that the consortium's proposal does not constitute a superior proposal to the merger agreement with Rithm Capital Corp (RITM). The committee cited concerns about the consortium's proposal, including the risk of Sculptor's fund investors not approving of Bidder J's CEO and other outsiders having control over their capital, insufficient equity commitments, and increased risk due to the consortium providing the debt commitments for its proposed debt financing.
