The Radoff-JEC Group Highlights Seer Inc.’s and Chairman and CEO Omid Farokhzad, M.D.’s History of Value Destruction

Key Terms

ipo financial

An initial public offering (IPO) is the process by which a private company sells its shares to the public for the first time, making its ownership available on the stock market. This allows the company to raise money from a wide range of investors to fund growth or other goals. For investors, an IPO offers a chance to buy into a company early in its public journey, potentially benefiting if the company grows in value.

chapter 11 bankruptcy protection regulatory

Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection is a legal process that lets a financially troubled company pause creditor actions and reorganize its debts and operations under court oversight, often continuing to operate while it creates a plan to pay creditors. For investors, it matters because the company’s existing shares and debt can be drastically reduced or reshaped during the restructuring, so equity may be wiped out or diluted while creditors’ claims are prioritized—think of it as a court-ordered time‑out to redraw the company’s financial map.

proxy statement regulatory

A proxy statement is a document companies send to shareholders ahead of a meeting that lays out the items up for a vote—like who will sit on the board, executive pay, and major corporate decisions—and provides background so shareholders can decide how to cast their votes or appoint someone to vote for them. Think of it as an agenda plus a ballot and briefing notes, important because the outcomes can change control, strategy, and value.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bradley L. Radoff and Michael Torok (together with certain of their affiliates, the “Radoff-JEC Group” or “we”), who collectively own approximately 7.7% of the outstanding shares of Seer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEER) (“Seer” or the “Company”), today issued the following statement:

Source: FactSet; total stockholder return graph from December 4, 2020 through April 10, 2026, the trading day immediately prior to the Radoff-JEC Group’s submission of its initial non-binding proposal to acquire the Company.

“When Seer filed its proxy statement, the Board issued a 4,000-word letter to stockholders that we believe was a collection of inaccurate and misleading statements. In fact, the letter ended with the claim that Seer has the right Board and the right strategy.

Seer’s share price is down 97% since its IPO in December of 2020.¹ If Seer had the right Board and the right strategy, would the share price be down 97% over the past five and a half years?

We believe change at Seer is urgently needed. The 97% share price decline supports that conclusion. And the fact that Seer Chair and CEO Omid Farokhzad, M.D. has consistently destroyed stockholder value across numerous companies adds to our view that change is urgently needed.”
