As previously disclosed, the subscription price will be determined by a formula applying a 25% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average price of Signature's common stock for the period January 12, 2015 through January 26, 2015, but in no event greater than $6.50 per share, which was the price offered in the Company's common stock offering completed December 19, 2014.



If my math is correct, the VWAP during the 10-day period was $7.54. Apply the 25% discount and the subscription price should be ~ $5.65.

Prospectus Supplement (1/30/15)

We are conducting a rights offering pursuant to which we are distributing at no charge to the holders of our common stock subscription rights to purchase up to 9,751,773 shares of our common stock (the “Rights Offering”). Holders of our common stock will receive one subscription right for each share of our common stock owned at 5:00 p.m. in New York City, on January 28, 2015 (the “Effective Date”). The subscription rights will be transferable prior to their exercise only to the extent that the shares of common stock to which they are attached are transferred from and after the Effective Date. Subscription rights attach to the common stock in respect of which they are issued and will not be separately transferable. Our common stock is traded on the OTCQX Marketplace under the symbol “SGGH.” On January 28, 2015, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $7.45 per share.

Each subscription right will entitle the holder to purchase 0.562 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.64 per share. Holders will also have oversubscription rights, pursuant to which holders may be able to purchase additional shares of common stock at the exercise price to the extent that holders do not exercise all of the subscription rights. If all of the subscription rights are exercised in this Rights Offering, excluding the subscription rights held by the holders of the warrants described below, the total purchase price of all of our common stock sold in the Rights Offering will be $55 million.

Separately, in this Rights Offering, we are distributing, at no charge to the holders of our 1.5 million warrants (“Warrants”), subscription rights to purchase an aggregate of 843,000 shares of our common stock. These nontransferable subscription rights are issued pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreements for such Warrants and expire 90 days after the Effective Date. These subscription rights will also entitle the holder of Warrants to purchase 0.562 shares of common stock per Warrant at an exercise price of $5.64 per share. Holders of Warrants will also have oversubscription rights, pursuant to which holders of our Warrants may be able to purchase additional shares of common stock at the exercise price to the extent that holders of our Warrants do not exercise all of the subscription rights available in respect of the Warrants. If all of the subscription rights are exercised by the holders of Warrants in this Rights Offering, the total purchase price for such shares of our common stock will be $4,754,520.

This Rights Offering to our common stockholders is being conducted in connection with the pending acquisition (the “GRSA Acquisition”) by our wholly owned subsidiary, Real Alloy Holding, Inc. formerly SGH Acquisition Holdco, Inc. (“Real Alloy”), of all of the equity interests of certain entities, which, together with their subsidiaries (the “GRSA Entities”), comprise the global recycling and specification alloys business (“GRSA”) of Aleris Corporation (“Aleris”). We expect the consideration for the GRSA Acquisition to come from the financings described herein, including this Rights Offering, and cash on hand. This Rights Offering is conditioned upon, and will not close unless, the GRSA Acquisition is consummated. However, this Rights Offering is not contingent upon the other financings described herein. There can be no assurance that the GRSA Acquisition or such financings will be consummated on the terms described herein, or at all. See “The GRSA Acquisition and Financings.” We reserve the right to cancel this Rights Offering at any time. If this Rights Offering is canceled or if the GRSA Acquisition is not consummated, the exercise price will be promptly returned by mail to exercising holders, without interest or deduction. If the Rights Offering is canceled, the subscription rights will not be exercisable and will have no value. Delivery of purchased shares will take place as soon as practicable after the closing of the GRSA Acquisition.

The subscription rights are exercisable beginning on the date of this prospectus supplement and will expire if they are not exercised by 5:00 p.m. in New York City, on February 17, 2015 (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended by us from time to time in our sole discretion. Subscription rights that are not exercised by the Expiration Date of the Rights Offering will expire and will have no value.

During the period of the Rights Offering, i.e., following the Effective Date but prior to the Expiration Date, our common stock will trade along with the associated subscription rights as a unit under a new CUSIP 82670K128. Therefore, if a holder transfers shares of common stock during the period of the Rights Offering and prior to the exercise of such subscription right, the subscription rights associated with those shares of common stock will transfer along with the shares of common stock. Following the exercise of the subscription rights, the unit will terminate and the common stock to which the subscription rights had attached will be traded separately from such rights under a separate CUSIP 82670K201. The rights are not separately tradable. Whether or not a holder transfers the underlying common stock to which the subscription rights originally attached subsequent to any exercise of subscription rights, the new common stock in the subscription, and oversubscription as applicable, will be issued to the holder who exercised the subscription rights, and not any subsequent transferee of the underlying common stock. From and after the Expiration Date, our common stock will trade under CUSIP 82670K201.

Holders who exercise their subscription rights will not be entitled to revoke their exercise. Holders who do not exercise their subscription rights will relinquish any value inherent in the subscription rights and their relative ownership level of our outstanding common stock will decrease as a result of the increase in our outstanding common stock resulting from this Rights Offering.

Signature Group Holdings Announces Extension Of Rights Offering To February 20, 2015 And Availability Of Offering In California (2/10/15)

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Signature Group Holdings, Inc. ("Signature" or the "Company") (OTCQX: SGGHU) announces today the extension of the expiration date for its previously announced $55 million rights offering (the "Rights Offering") to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on February 20, 2015 (the "Expiration Date"). Further, the Company announces the immediate launch of the Rights Offering in the State of California.

On February 9, 2015, the Company qualified the offer and sale of securities in the Rights Offering in the State of California. As a result, the Company is extending the original February 17, 2015 Rights Offering expiration date to February 20, 2015, both to allow for participation by California-based stockholders and to facilitate subscriptions from beneficial holders whose banks, brokers or other nominees have shortened internal exercise and payment delivery requirements due to the federal Presidents' Day holiday. The Company does not currently anticipate any further extension of the Rights Offering period.

As previously announced, the Company distributed subscription rights at no charge to the holders of record of its common stock as of the close of business on January 28, 2015 (the "Effective Date") to purchase up to 9,751,773 shares of its common stock. The subscription rights attached to the shares of its common stock as of the Effective Date and have traded, and will continue to trade, as a unit under the symbol "SGGHU" until the rights are exercised or the Expiration Date. Any purchaser or other transferee of the shares of common stock after the Effective Date and prior to the Expiration Date or termination of this Rights Offering or the exercise of such attached subscription rights will be permitted to exercise the subscription rights attached – or "stapled" – to such shares of its common stock.

Each subscription right entitles the holder to purchase 0.562 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $5.64 per share. Holders will also have oversubscription rights, pursuant to which they may be able to purchase additional shares of common stock to the extent that other holders do not exercise all of their subscription rights. If all of the subscription rights are exercised in this Rights Offering, the total purchase price of all of the common stock sold in the Rights Offering will be $55 million.

This Rights Offering is being conducted in connection with and is dependent on the consummation of the pending acquisition by Signature's indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Real Alloy Holding, Inc., of the global recycling and specification alloys business ("GRSA") of Aleris Corporation. GRSA is the largest independent aluminum recycler in the world and a market leader in North America and Europe.

A registration statement with respect to the securities to be offered in this Rights Offering was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 26, 2013. The Company has distributed to its stockholders of record as of the Effective Date, their subscription rights certificate, a copy of the prospectus supplement dated January 29, 2015 for this Rights Offering, which is made part of the registration statement, and instructions for participating in this Rights Offering.

In addition, the Company has made available a letter to stockholders from its Chief Executive Officer, Craig Bouchard, about the Rights Offering as well as a presentation used by the Company in road show presentations regarding the Rights Offering. These materials may be viewed on the Company's website at www.signaturegroupholdings.com and in its SEC filings on EDGAR. Further, requests for copies of these materials or questions regarding the Rights Offering may be made by contacting Georgeson Inc., the Company's information agent for the Rights Offering, at 480 Washington Blvd., 26th Floor, Jersey City, NJ 07310, or (866) 300-8594.

The subscription rights held by common stockholders are expected to expire on or about February 20, 2015, and any common shares to be issued pursuant to subscription rights will be distributed as soon as practicable after the close of the GRSA acquisition, which is expected to occur on or before February 28, 2015. Other than the extension of the expiration date of the Rights Offering and the acceptance by California of the filing of the Company's application for qualification of the Rights Offering in the state, all terms described in the prospectus remain the same and apply during the extended period of the Rights Offering.

This extension of the Expiration Date for the Rights Offering applies only with respect to the subscription rights attached to the common stock of the Company, and not to the subscription rights in respect of the Company's 1.5 million outstanding warrants. More information on the subscription rights in connection with the warrants may be found in the prospectus supplement, and the expiration date for such portion of the Rights Offering remains April 28, 2015.
