Sets September 8, 2023, as New Record Date for Planned Spin-off
Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SGBX) (“Safe & Green Holdings” or the “Company”), a leading developer, designer, and fabricator of modular structures for residential, commercial, and point-of-care medicine, today provided an update on the planned spin-off of Safe & Green Development Corp (“SG DevCo”), the Company’s real estate development subsidiary, to become a standalone company listed on Nasdaq. The Company has set a new record date of September 8, 2023 (the “Record Date”), for the Company’s upcoming spin-off.
Paul Galvin, Chairman, and CEO stated, “We continue to make progress on the planned spin-off of SG DevCo. We remain steadfast in our plan, which would result in us distributing thirty percent of SG DevCo to our current, loyal stockholders, with Safe & Green Holdings retaining seventy percent. Each investor’s pro rata percentage of Safe & Green Holdings will remain unchanged following the spin-off. Given the fact that a third-party fairness opinion has valued SG DevCo's fair market value at $74 million, well above the market cap of Safe & Green Holdings, we believe this spin-off will unlock significant value for stockholders.”
David Villarreal, President & CEO of Safe and Green Development Corporation commented, “I believe the prospects for Safe and Green Development Corporation have never been greater. As previously reported, SG DevCo currently has a project pipeline in excess of $800 million over a 7-year span, and although market conditions can fluctuate, we project returns in excess of $200 million on these projects. We believe this transaction is in the best interests of stockholders.”
Distribution Information
As previously announced, the separation will occur by means of a pro rata distribution by the Company of thirty percent of the outstanding shares of SG DevCo common stock to the Company’s current shareholders. SG Holdings will retain seventy percent of SG DevCo common stock immediately following the distribution.
Safe & Green Holdings plans to set a new date to distribute (the “Distribution Date”) the shares of SG DevCo to holders of record as of the close of business on Record Date (“Distribution”). Each SG Holdings stockholder will receive approximately 0.93 shares of SG DevCo common stock for every five (5) shares of SG Holdings common stock held as of the close of business on the Record Date. No fractional shares of SG DevCo common stock will be issued in the distribution, and stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Safe & Green Holdings’ transfer agent and registrar, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC, will serve as transfer agent and registrar for SG DevCo as well, and act as distribution agent in connection with the Distribution. The Company will provide further updates regarding the Distribution Date when available.
The distribution remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in SG DevCo’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) having declared effective the Form 10 and Nasdaq having approved the listing of SG DevCo common stock. The Form 10 has been filed by SG DevCo with the SEC and is publicly available at www.sec.gov.
No action is required by SG Holdings’ stockholders to receive shares of SG DevCo’s common stock in the Distribution. SG Holdings expects to make available an information statement to all stockholders entitled to receive the distribution of shares of SG DevCo’s common stock. The information statement is filed as an exhibit to SG DevCo’s Registration Statement on Form 10 and describes SG DevCo and certain risks of owning SG DevCo common stock and provides other information regarding the spin-off.
SG Holdings stockholders who hold shares of common stock on the Record Date of September 8, 2023, and decide to sell any of those shares before the Distribution Date, should consult their stockbroker, bank, or other nominee to understand whether the shares of SG Holdings common stock will be sold with or without entitlement to SG DevCo common stock pursuant to the Distribution.
