Rhea-AI Filing Summary

KORE Group Holdings (KORE) received a non-binding proposal from affiliates of Searchlight and Abry to acquire all outstanding common shares they do not own for $5.00 per share in cash, submitted to the board’s Special Committee on November 3, 2025. The filing also updates beneficial ownership tied to warrants.

Searchlight-linked entities report beneficial ownership of 2,404,942 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, reflecting a 13.7% stake based on 17,493,073 shares outstanding as of August 12, 2025. The parties note the letter may lead to a merger and potential delisting, but there is no assurance a definitive agreement will be reached, and they reserve the right to modify or withdraw the proposal.

Insights

Event-driven M&A analyst

Non-binding $5.00/share proposal; outcome uncertain.

Affiliates of Searchlight and Abry submitted a letter proposing to buy KORE’s remaining shares at $5.00 per share. This signals interest in a potential take-private and could culminate in a merger, subject to negotiations with the Special Committee.

The filing also lists 2,404,942 shares issuable via warrants at $0.05, calculated as 13.7% based on 17,493,073 shares outstanding as of August 12, 2025. The proposal is expressly non-binding with no assurance of closing; actual impact depends on the Special Committee’s response and any definitive agreement.

If talks progress, subsequent disclosures would specify transaction terms, structure, and timing, including any delisting following a merger.
