Cardiff Oncology shares plunge after Q2 earnings miss
Investing.com -- Emeren (NYSE: SOL) stock soared 27% today following a significant development where major shareholder Shah Parties proposed a buyout of the remaining shares they do not currently own. The non-binding proposal offers a purchase price of $2.00 per share, representing a 68% premium over the closing price as of March 14, 2025.
The shareholder group, which owns approximately 36% of Emeren’s outstanding common stock, submitted the proposal to the company’s board of directors on March 17, 2025. The offer is structured as a "going private" transaction, where Shah Parties intends to acquire all outstanding ordinary shares with personal cash, without the need for external financing.
According to the proposal, the transaction aims to deliver attractive value to shareholders, with Shah Parties expressing a willingness to engage long-term shareholders interested in participating in the go-private deal. The proposal outlines that definitive agreements must be executed before any binding commitment is established, with typical covenants and conditions for such transactions.
The proposal also states that the buyout would lead to the termination of registration of Emeren’s ordinary shares under Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, resulting in the delisting of the shares from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.
Emeren’s board of directors is expected to form a Special Committee of independent members to evaluate the transaction and make a recommendation. Shah Parties has emphasized that they will not proceed with the transaction unless it receives approval from this Special Committee.
This development comes at a time when shareholders are often on the lookout for opportunities to maximize their investments, and a premium offer such as this is likely to draw significant attention. The market’s positive reaction reflects the potential value that the buyout could unlock for shareholders, with the stock’s significant rise indicating investor optimism about the proposed terms.
