–Report on: National Holdings Corporation
NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwired – April 28, 2016) –National Holdings Corporation ( $NHLD ) (“National Holdings” or “NHLD”), a full-service investment banking and asset management firm, and Fortress Biotech, Inc. ( $FBIO ) (“Fortress” or “FBIO”), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to acquiring, developing and commercializing novel pharmaceutical and biotechnology products, announce today that the two firms have entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Fortress will offer to purchase, through its wholly owned subsidiary, FBIO Acquisition, Inc., up to 100% of the shares of National Holdings at $3.25 per share in cash. The offer price represents a premium of ~44% over the closing price of NHLD common stock on April 27, 2016, the last trading day prior to today’s announcement.
National Holdings’ board of directors has approved the Agreement and is remaining neutral and making no recommendation to the NHLD shareholders as to whether to accept the offer and tender their shares pursuant to the offer.
If more than 80% of the NHLD shares are tendered in the offer, NHLD will undergo a merger and will no longer be a public company. Following the closing of the tender offer, if less than 80% of the NHLD shares are tendered in the offer, NHLD will remain a publicly-traded company. In such event, shareholders post-tender offer will receive from NHLD a five year warrant per held share to purchase an additional share of NHLD common stock at $3.25. NHLD will distribute the warrant to its holders of record as of a date not later than 90 days following the closing of the tender. NHLD shareholders who did not tender and are still holders of record as of such date will receive the warrant.
Following the closing of the tender offer, regardless of the number of shares purchased, Fortress will have the right to appoint a majority of the board of NHLD.
Fortress will commence the tender offer as promptly as practicable and in no event later than 30 days after the date the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) declares the application required under NASD Rule 1017 regarding the potential change of control of the broker-dealer subsidiaries of the Company as substantially complete. The consummation of the Offer is not subject to any financing condition or any condition regarding any minimum number of shares being validly tendered in the Offer but is subject to certain customary conditions.
Michael S. Weiss, Vice Chairman of FBIO and former Chairman of NHLD commented on the transaction, “We are very excited to be able to bring the National team under the Fortress Biotech umbrella. We have worked closely with NHLD over the years and believe strongly in the people, their overall business and in particular their unique ability to finance emerging biotech companies. We plan to enhance their biotech and life science investment banking franchise into a leader in the field, while also identifying important additional verticals to broaden their breadth of product offerings for their clientele. We are additionally excited about the opportunity of growing NHLD’s diverse platform, including asset management, insurance, tax planning and mortgage businesses. Mr. Weiss continued, “The deal as structured will provide a unified board and management team with a shareholder base all aligned with a single vision to create a more dynamic and profitable NHLD.”
Robert Fagenson, CEO and Chairman of NHLD commented on the transaction, “Management and the Board of NHLD are extremely excited about this transaction. We believe we have provided our shareholders with two compelling options moving forward. For those who are interested in liquidating their position, we have found a buyer at a significant premium to our current share price. For those shareholders who want to continue with the Company and share the Fortress vision for NHLD, we intend to distribute a 5 year warrant at the same price as the tender offer, which we believe provides a very attractive opportunity to participate in the future of NHLD. Mr. Fagenson continued, “Everyone at NHLD believes in the great potential of our Company and we believe this transformational deal will create an expanded platform that will lead to more corporate advisory business, institutional brokerage and enhance National’s overall reputation as a well-respected and valued corporate advisor. Finally, the depth of the FBIO team’s expertise in life sciences and biotech should expand our already strong healthcare banking franchise. We look forward to working with the FBIO team to make NHLD a leading financial services business, with a top tier biotech/life sciences franchise.”
