Signature Group Holdings Announces Final Results Of Rights Offering With Respect To Common Stockholders (2/25/15)

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Feb. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Signature Group Holdings, Inc. ("Signature" or the "Company") (OTCQX: SGRH) announces today the final results of its stapled rights offering (the "Rights Offering") completed on February 20, 2015. The Company received basic subscriptions and requests for oversubscriptions for a total of 17,241,514 shares. Because 7,899,215 basic subscriptions were received out of a maximum offering size of 9,751,773 shares, a total of 1,852,558 shares will be issued to fulfill oversubscription requests. The Company will allocate the oversubscription shares to the holders who validly exercised oversubscription rights on a pro rata basis, based on such holders' common stock ownership prior to exercising their subscription rights and up to the level of subscription payments received from such holders.

The closing of the Company's Rights Offering and the issuance of the shares of common stock to subscribing holders are contingent upon the consummation of its acquisition of the global recycling and specification alloys business of Aleris Corporation, on or about February 27, 2015. Within the next few business days, the subscription agent for the Rights Offering will issue 7,899,215 shares in respect of all valid basic subscriptions and 1,852,558 shares in respect of the oversubscription requests that have been fulfilled. The subscription agent will also distribute refund checks, as applicable, for unfulfilled oversubscription requests. As a result of the Rights Offering, the Company's outstanding common stock will increase by 9,751,773 shares.

The result is as I expected.

The Company received basic subscriptions and requests for oversubscriptions for a total of 17,241,514 shares. Because 7,899,215 basic subscriptions were received out of a maximum offering size of 9,751,773 shares, a total of 1,852,558 shares will be issued to fulfill oversubscription requests.


Proration appears to be about 19.8 percent (1,852,558 available/ 9,342,299 requested).
