RCA Telegram News California - Cedar Realty Trust Announces Tender Offers

The Offers will commence on February 21, 2025, and are intended to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 21, 2025, unless either Offer is earlier extended or terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended with respect to either Offer, the "Expiration Date"). Tenders of Series C Shares or Series B Shares (together, "Shares") must be made prior to the Expiration Date and may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date, in each case, in accordance with the procedures described in the tender offer materials. The Company intends to pay for the Shares repurchased in the Offers with available cash.

If the aggregate purchase price for Shares that are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date exceeds the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount, the Company will accept for purchase the maximum number of Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn having an aggregate price which does not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount, accepting first Series C Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn up to the Series C Share Cap, then, if the number of Series C Shares purchased is less than the Series C Share Cap, accepting Series B Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, up to the lesser of the Series B Share Cap or a number of Series B Shares having an aggregate purchase price equal to the remainder of the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount. Accordingly, all Series C Shares properly tendered will be accepted for purchase before any Series B Shares properly tendered will be accepted for purchase. If the number of Series C Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn exceeds the Series C Share Cap, the Company will prorate the number of Series C Shares accepted for payment and will not purchase any Series B Shares. If, after purchasing Series C Shares, the number of Series B Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn exceeds the lesser of the Series B Share Cap or a number of Series B Shares having an aggregate price equal to the remainder of the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount available to purchase Series B Shares, the Company will prorate the number of Series B Shares accepted for payment. Stockholders whose Series C Shares or Series B Shares are purchased in the Offers will be paid the applicable purchase price in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, after the expiration of the Offers.

The Offers will not be contingent upon the receipt of financing or any minimum number of Shares being tendered. However, each Offer is subject to a number of other terms and conditions, which will be described in detail in the offer to purchase for the Offers. Specific instructions and a complete explanation of the terms and conditions of the Offers will be contained in the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and other related materials, which will be sent to stockholders of record of Shares promptly after commencement of the Offers.

While the Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to make the Offers, none of the Company, its Board of Directors, the Company's officers, the information agent, or the depositary makes any recommendation as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering Shares. The Company has not authorized any person to make any such recommendation. Stockholders must make their own decision as to whether to tender their Series B Shares. In doing so, stockholders should consult their own financial and tax advisors and read carefully and evaluate the information in the offer to purchase and related materials, when available.

Georgeson LLC is serving as information agent for the Offers and Computershare Inc. is serving as the depositary for the Offers. Alston & Bird LLP is serving as counsel to the Company for the Offers. Once commenced, for all questions relating to the Offers, please call the information agent, Georgeson LLC toll-free at (866) 735-3807; banks and brokers may call the depositary, Computershare Inc., at (800) 736-3001.
