Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Goldman Sachs-affiliated funds updated their ownership and merger-related agreements with Soho House & Co Inc. The reporting group now discloses beneficial ownership of 15,770,942 shares of Class A common stock, representing 29.1% of that class based on 54,149,151 shares outstanding as of December 1, 2025, and about 1.1% of the issuer’s total voting power across both share classes. All 15,526,619 Soho House Class A shares held by the Goldman entities have been designated as rollover shares in connection with a planned merger.

Goldman-linked funds will also provide new senior secured debt financing of $100 million to a Soho House subsidiary as part of the merger financing, and the Goldman entities gain a non-voting board observer right tied to maintaining a specified ownership level after the merger.

Insights

Goldman’s funds lock in rollover equity, redemption mechanics and $100M debt in Soho House’s merger.

The filing shows Goldman Sachs Group and affiliated funds holding 15,770,942 Soho House Class A shares, or 29.1% of that class based on 54,149,151 shares outstanding as of December 1, 2025, while representing about 1.1% of aggregate voting power across all share classes. All 15,526,619 shares held by the Goldman-related entities are now designated as rollover shares in the merger, indicating they are contributing their existing equity into the post-merger structure rather than exiting immediately.

The amendment also introduces a structured liquidity path. If the issuer raises post-closing equity funding, then for the first $163,126,505 of certain net proceeds, up to 9,315,972 Goldman-entity shares can be redeemed at $9.00 per share, based on 50% of those proceeds, while excluding the first $70 million and any equity used for emergency working capital. Separately, Goldman-affiliated funds will provide $100 million of new senior secured financing to a Soho House subsidiary, replacing existing notes (including those they hold). This increases the disclosed debt commitment from a previously indicated $75 million, and adds a non-voting board observer right for Goldman entities so long as they maintain at least half of their designated post-merger stake.
