Rhea-AI Filing Summary

TreeHouse Foods, Inc. insider filings show activity by investment manager Silver Point Capital, L.P. and related reporting persons around a go-private merger.

At the merger’s effective time, each outstanding share of TreeHouse common stock was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive $22.50 in cash, less applicable taxes and withholding, plus one contractual contingent value right tied to potential net proceeds from specified coffee-business litigation.

Insights

Activity reflects a merger-driven cash-out, not ongoing trading.

The transactions link a large shareholder group managed by Silver Point Capital to TreeHouse Foods’ merger into an Industrial F&B affiliate. The Form 4 shows an open-market purchase shortly before closing, followed by a merger-related cancellation and conversion of all reported shares into cash and contingent rights.

Footnotes clarify that the reported securities are held by investment funds for which Silver Point is investment manager, while individuals Edward A. Mule and Robert J. O'Shea may be deemed beneficial owners only through their interests in those entities. The impact on investors depends on the already-agreed merger terms of $22.50 in cash per share plus a contingent value right linked to future litigation proceeds.
