“Our commitment is to earn a return for our clients utilizing our value based methodologies. As such, this rights offering helps strengthen the platform as our team delivers on its mission for clients’ portfolios. We are excited to strengthen the next stage of the Teton and Keeley funds’ legacy of excellence in smaller company investing. Small Caps today sell at the widest discount relative to Large Caps in 35 years. Our integrated approach is expected to drive long term client value,” said Patrick Huvane, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

The rights offering gives Teton stockholders the right to receive transferable rights to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a subscription price of $15.50. The record date was June 3, 2022. Only Class A common stock will be issued regardless of whether the stockholder of record holds Class A common stock and/or Class B common stock. All stockholders of record will receive three (3) subscription rights for each share of Class A common stock and/or Class B common stock then owned. Nine (9) subscription rights are needed to subscribe for a new share of Class A common stock. The net proceeds of the offering will be used as working capital for general corporate purposes and for acquisitions, although the Company has not identified any specific acquisitions at this time.

The rights offering includes an over-subscription privilege, which will provide a stockholder of record, who exercises all of his or her basic subscription rights in full, the right to purchase additional shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to the availability and pro rata allocation of shares among persons exercising this over-subscription right. However, rights purchased in the secondary market are not eligible for the over-subscription right. The Class A common stock issued in connection with the rights offering will be listed on the over-the counter market (OTC).

The Company reserves the right to modify, postpone or cancel the rights offering at any time prior to the closing of the issuance of the Class A common stock in the rights offering.
