Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Seer, Inc. is the target of an activist campaign led by the Radoff-JEC Group, which has nominated an alternative director slate and is soliciting votes via a WHITE universal proxy card for the 2026 annual meeting. The group reports owning approximately 7.7% of Seer’s outstanding shares.

The group has submitted its fourth, non-binding proposal to acquire 100% of Seer’s equity for $2.55 per share in cash, which it states is a 51% premium to the unaffected share price on April 10, 2026 and a 29% premium to the July 27, 2026 share price. The proposal also includes a contingent value right (CVR) giving stockholders 85% of net proceeds from any license, sale or other disposition of Seer’s business and assets, including PrognomiQ, with an aim to pay CVR proceeds within six to twelve months after closing. The group describes the offer as not subject to financing conditions, subject to limited confirmatory due diligence, and indicates it will remain open until August 10, 2026, while urging Seer’s two-member Special Committee to run an auction process and engage with the proposal.

Filing Explained

The Radoff-JEC Group describes its offer as “not speculative or contingent,” but the filing identifies it as a non-binding proposal subject to limited confirmatory due diligence; it therefore records a proposal for committee consideration, not an agreed or completed acquisition.

universal proxy card regulatory
"accompanying WHITE universal proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission"
A universal proxy card is a single voting ballot sent to shareholders that lists every director nominee put forward by both the existing board and any challengers, allowing investors to pick any mix of candidates they prefer. Like a combined ballot at a community election, it makes voting easier, increases individual shareholder control, and can materially change the dynamics, cost and likely outcome of contested board elections.
contingent value right financial
"plus a contingent value right (“CVR”) representing the right for stockholders"
A contingent value right is a special security that gives its holder the right to receive one or more future payments only if specified events happen, such as a product reaching a sales target or getting regulatory approval. It matters to investors because it offers potential extra payout tied to uncertain outcomes—like a bet that a project will succeed—so it can add upside to a deal while also carrying extra risk and valuation uncertainty.
Special Committee regulatory
"Attn: Special Committee Dear Members of the Special Committee"
A special committee is a group of people chosen by an organization to carefully examine a specific issue or problem, often when a decision could have significant consequences. Think of it as a task force brought together to investigate and recommend actions, ensuring that important matters are handled thoroughly and fairly. For investors, this means decisions are made with careful oversight, which can impact the organization's stability and future direction.
fiduciary obligations regulatory
"We urge the Special Committee to fulfill its fiduciary obligations by engaging"
Fiduciary obligations are legal and ethical responsibilities requiring certain people—such as company directors, executives, or financial advisors—to put the interests of shareholders or clients ahead of their own. They matter to investors because these duties create clear standards for decision-making, reduce the risk of self-dealing, and give investors a basis for legal recourse if those in charge prioritize personal gain over investor interests; think of it as a trusted guardian legally bound to protect your financial interests.
unaffected share price financial
"51% premium to the Company’s unaffected share price and a 29% premium"

On July 28, 2026, the Radoff-JEC Group issued the following press release:

 

Radoff-JEC Group Submits Further Improved Proposal to Acquire Seer, Inc.

 

Proposal Provides Stockholders $2.55 per Share in Cash, a 51% Premium to the Unaffected Share Price and 29% Premium to the Current Share Price, as Well as Potential Additional Value from the Sale of Seer’s Assets via a Contingent Value Right

 

Urges Seer’s Two-Member Special Committee to Conduct an Auction and Avoid Further Value Destruction Under the Leadership of Chairman and CEO Omid Farokhzad, M.D.

 

HOUSTON, TX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bradley L. Radoff and Michael Torok, who collectively own approximately 7.7% of the outstanding shares of Seer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEER) (the “Company”), today submitted the following improved non-binding proposal to acquire the Company – their fourth such proposal – for $2.55 per share in cash plus a contingent value right.

July 28, 2026

Seer, Inc.

3800 Bridge Parkway, Suite 102

Redwood City, California 94065

Attn: Special Committee

 

Dear Members of the Special Committee,

 

Bradley L. Radoff and Michael Torok (together with certain of their affiliates, the “Radoff-JEC Group” or “we”) are significant stockholders of Seer, Inc. (“Seer” or the “Company”), collectively owning approximately 7.7% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

 

We are pleased to submit this further improved, non-binding proposal to acquire 100% of the equity of the Company for $2.55 per share in cash (the “Acquisition”), which represents an immediate 51% premium to the Company’s unaffected share price and a 29% premium to the current share price,1 plus a contingent value right (“CVR”) representing the right for stockholders to receive 85% of the net proceeds received from any license, sale or other disposition of Seer’s business and assets, including PrognomiQ.

 

We would aim to make all payments under the CVR within six to 12 months of the completion of the Acquisition.

 


1 Unaffected price calculated as of close on 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. Current share price as of close on July 27, 2026.

 

 

To be clear, our offer is not speculative or contingent. Our offer does not undervalue Seer or seek to drain Seer of its cash. In fact, the structure of our proposal is designed to ensure that stockholders receive full and fair value for their investment in Seer by way of a CVR providing the proceeds from an open auction process for the Company’s business and assets.

 

We believe our proposal offers stockholders many valuable things that the Board’s current strategy does not, including: certainty, accountability and a realistic framework for maximizing remaining value. Furthermore, our proposal does not subject stockholders to continued value destruction under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Omid Farokhzad, M.D.

 

Based upon our analysis, Dr. Farokhzad has destroyed more than $1 billion in investor capital across Seer, BIND Therapeutics, Selecta Biosciences, Tarveda Therapeutics and Senti Biosciences. We kindly request the Special Committee, and the Board as a whole, to consider Dr. Farokhzad’s track record at Seer and across other companies as it evaluates subjecting stockholders to continued losses and cash burn while pursuing his failed strategy.

 

We urge the Special Committee to fulfill its fiduciary obligations by engaging seriously with us regarding our proposal and by providing stockholders with a transparent evaluation process. Entrenchment and continued adherence to a failed operating strategy are not acceptable to stockholders. It is also not an option to accept an inferior buyout offer from Dr. Farokhzad.

 

Our improved offer, which is subject to limited confirmatory due diligence, does not expire until August 10, 2026 – we urge the Special Committee and its independent financial advisor to immediately engage with us and negotiate a transaction that will benefit all stockholders. We are ready to move forward and close expeditiously – once again, our proposal is not subject to any financing conditions.

 

Sincerely,

 

Bradley L. Radoff and Michael Torok
