Insights

Soho House is going private, with one voting group holding about 97% control.

The merger has transformed Soho House & Co Inc. into a privately held company. Class A common stock will be delisted from the NYSE, and the company intends to deregister these shares, which ends ongoing public reporting for this class of equity.

A defined voting group now beneficially owns 141,682,049 shares of Class A common stock on an as-converted basis, or about 76.9% of economic interest. Because Class B shares carry ten votes per share, this group controls roughly 97.1% of voting power, effectively concentrating corporate control in a small set of insiders and affiliated funds.

Transaction mechanics include a rollover structure, with 39,845,438 Class B shares for Richard Caring designated as rollover shares, and a cash-based side arrangement where Ronald Burkle agreed to pay Nick Jones an additional $6.6 million if the merger closed before December 31, 2026. That payment condition was met when the merger closed on January 29, 2026, and the subject shares were transferred to OA3, LLC.
