Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Paramount Group, Inc. completed its previously agreed merger with Rithm Capital Corp. affiliates, resulting in a full cash buyout and the end of Paramount’s independent public company status. Each outstanding share of Paramount common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $6.60 in cash per share, without interest. Common units of the operating partnership were similarly converted into cash based on the partnership conversion factor multiplied by $6.60.

In connection with the closing, Paramount’s common stock stopped trading on the New York Stock Exchange, a Form 25 was filed to delist and deregister the shares, and the company plans to file a Form 15 to end its ongoing SEC reporting obligations. All Paramount directors resigned and were replaced by the prior directors of the merger subsidiary, and several senior executives were replaced by new officers designated by the buyer.

  • None.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Paramount is taken private in an all-cash deal at $6.60 per share.

The transaction closes the sale of Paramount Group, Inc. to affiliates of Rithm Capital Corp., with each outstanding Paramount share converted into the right to receive $6.60 in cash. Operating partnership common units are similarly cashed out using the contractual conversion factor multiplied by $6.60, aligning treatment across the REIT and its operating partnership structure.

Following completion, Paramount’s common stock is delisted from the NYSE via a Form 25 filing, and the company plans to file a Form 15 to terminate registration and suspend reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Governance shifts fully to the buyer’s control as all prior directors resign and are replaced by the merger subsidiary’s board, and key executives are succeeded by Rithm-designated officers. The filing confirms the closing mechanics and the final per-share cash consideration, with future visibility expected through the parent entity rather than Paramount’s standalone reports.

Introductory Note

On December 19, 2025, Paramount Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 17, 2025 (as amended on October 8, 2025, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership and a subsidiary of the Company (the “Operating Partnership”), Rithm Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Panorama REIT Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“REIT Merger Sub”), and Panorama Operating Merger Sub LP, a Delaware limited partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Operating Merger Sub” and, collectively with Parent and REIT Merger Sub, the “Parent Parties”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the closing, (i) Operating Merger Sub merged with and into the Operating Partnership with the Operating Partnership surviving the merger (the “Surviving Partnership” and such merger, the “Partnership Merger”) and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the Partnership Merger, the Company merged with and into REIT Merger Sub with REIT Merger Sub surviving the merger (the “Surviving Entity” and such merger, the “Company Merger” and, together with the Partnership Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, the Operating Partnership became an entity indirectly controlled by Parent, REIT Merger Sub survived as an entity indirectly controlled by Parent, and the separate corporate existence of the Company ceased.

 

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and under Items 3.01, 3.03, 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 2.01.

As a result of the Partnership Merger, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Partnership Merger (the “Partnership Merger Effective Time”), each Common Unit of the Operating Partnership (each, a “Operating Partnership Common Unit”) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Factor (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, dated as of October 26, 2020, by and between the Company and the limited partners party thereto (the “OP Agreement”)) in effect on such date with respect to such Operating Partnership Common Units multiplied by (ii) $6.60, without interest (the “Partnership Merger Consideration”).

Each issued and outstanding Operating Partnership Common Unit held by (i) the Parent Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or (ii) the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “Acquired Companies”) as of the Partnership Merger Effective Time was automatically retired and ceased to exist, and no consideration was paid, nor did any rights inure or were any rights made with respect to such Operating Partnership Common Units in connection with or as a consequence of the Mergers.

As a result of the Company Merger, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $6.60 per share, without interest (the “Company Merger Consideration”).

Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock held by (i) the Parent Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or (ii) any of the Acquired Companies as of the Company Merger Effective Time was automatically retired and ceased to exist, and no consideration was paid, nor did any rights inure or were any rights made with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock in connection with or as a consequence of the Mergers.

Company Compensatory Awards

At the Company Merger Effective Time and as a result of the Company Merger, (i) each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time was cancelled for no consideration and (ii) each restricted share of Company Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the Company Merger Consideration (subject to applicable tax withholding), without interest.

 


Operating Partnership Compensatory Awards

At the Partnership Merger Effective Time, (i) each award of long-term incentive plan units of the Operating Partnership (the “Operating Partnership LTIP Units”) that was subject only to time-based vesting conditions vested in full (to the extent such award did not otherwise vest in full as a consequence of the Mergers pursuant to its terms) and (ii) each award of appreciation only Operating Partnership LTIP Units (the “Operating Partnership AOLTIP Units”) that was subject to vesting based on the achievement of certain performance goals, and that was unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time, vested in full (with the applicable performance goals being deemed satisfied at the “maximum” level of performance). Subject to certain exceptions, all Operating Partnership LTIP Units and all Operating Partnership AOLTIP Units vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time were converted into Operating Partnership Common Units based on the applicable conversion factor set forth in the OP Agreement and such Operating Partnership Common Units were cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Partnership Merger Consideration. Certain Operating Partnership LTIP Units were cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the applicable conversion factor set forth in the OP Agreement and (y) the Company Merger Consideration (subject to applicable tax withholding), without interest.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Mergers are only summaries, do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 17, 2025, and Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Annex B to the Company’s Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on October 29, 2025.
