EX-99.1
Seer Board of Directors Unanimously Rejects Further Revised Unsolicited Proposal
from Radoff-JEC Group
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 21, 2026 – Seer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEER), the pioneer and trusted partner for deep, unbiased proteomic insights, today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has thoroughly reviewed and unanimously rejected the further revised unsolicited non-binding proposal received on May 14, 2026, from Bradley L. Radoff and Michael Torok (together with certain of their affiliates, the “Radoff-JEC Group”), to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Seer’s Class A common stock for $2.40 per share in cash plus a contingent value right (the “May 14 Revised Proposal”).
Consistent with its fiduciary duties, the Board carefully reviewed the May 14 Revised Proposal in consultation with its independent financial and legal advisors and unanimously determined it is not in the best interests of Seer stockholders because it significantly undervalues Seer and fails to reflect the value of Seer’s long-term growth prospects. The May 14 Revised Proposal is materially the same as the proposal that the Board thoroughly reviewed and rejected on April 27, 2026. As with the prior proposals submitted by the Radoff-JEC Group, the May 14 Revised Proposal continues to imply an equity value for Seer that is meaningfully below the sum of Seer’s current cash, cash equivalents and investments.
Perella Weinberg Partners LP is serving as financial advisor to Seer, and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation is serving as legal counsel.
