Activist group offers $2.25 cash and CVR for Seer (SEER) in 13D update
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Seer, Inc. received an amended Schedule 13D from a group led by Bradley Radoff and Michael Torok outlining an unsolicited takeover proposal and board contest. The group and related entities report beneficial ownership stakes ranging from 0.4% to 4.6% of Seer’s Class A common stock.
On April 13, 2026, the reporting persons submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire 100% of Seer’s equity for $2.25 per share in cash, a stated 33% premium to the most recent closing price, plus a contingent value right giving stockholders 80% of net proceeds from any sale or license of Seer’s business and assets, including PrognomiQ. The proposal assumes at least $215 million of net cash and cash equivalents at closing and is not subject to financing conditions.
The group asked Seer’s board to respond to the proposal by 5:00 p.m. ET on April 22, 2026, after which it would expire. Radoff also nominated Howard H. Berman, Joshua S. Horowitz and Luis E. Rinaldini to Seer’s board for the 2026 annual meeting and the group entered into an amended and restated group agreement covering joint filings, proxy solicitation efforts and trading restrictions while Seer’s tax benefit preservation plan (the “NOL Pill”) remains in effect.

Insights
Activist group proposes cash buyout of Seer at a 33% premium plus CVR.
The filing shows an investor group led by Bradley Radoff and Michael Torok holding several percent of Seer, Inc. shares and coordinating through a formal group agreement. They now propose to acquire all outstanding equity for $2.25 per share in cash.
The offer includes a contingent value right granting stockholders 80% of net proceeds from any sale or license of Seer’s business and assets, including PrognomiQ, contingent on future transactions. The proposal assumes at least $215 million of net cash and cash equivalents at closing and is not subject to financing conditions.
The group has also launched a proxy effort, nominating three directors for election at the 2026 annual meeting and agreeing not to trade Seer securities without joint consent while the NOL Pill is in place. Future company communications about the board’s response to the April 22, 2026 deadline will clarify whether discussions advance.
