Phillips 66 Recommends Rejection of Mini-Tender Offer by TRC Capital Corporation
May 01 2020 - 4:15PM
Business Wire
Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) today announced that it has been
notified of an unsolicited “mini-tender” offer dated April 27,
2020, made by TRC Capital Investment Corporation (TRC Capital), a
private Canadian investment company, to purchase up to 2 million
shares of Phillips 66 common stock. TRC Capital’s unsolicited
“mini-tender” offer price of $57.50 per share is approximately 5%
below the $60.53 per share closing price of Phillips 66’s common
stock on April 24, 2020, the last trading day prior to the
commencement of the offer. Phillips 66 is not affiliated in any way
with TRC Capital, the offer, or the offer documentation.
Phillips 66 recommends against shareholders tendering shares in
response to this unsolicited offer, for the reasons described
below.
TRC Capital has made many similar “mini-tender” offers for the
shares of other companies. “Mini-tender” offers are designed to
seek less than five percent of a company’s outstanding shares,
thereby avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements of the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because they are
below the SEC’s threshold to provide such disclosure and procedural
protections for investors.
The SEC has cautioned investors about “mini-tender” offers in an
investor alert. The alert is available on the SEC’s website at
http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.
Shareholders should consult their financial advisors and should
exercise caution with respect to TRC Capital’s offer. Shareholders
who have already tendered are advised that they may withdraw their
shares as described in TRC Capital’s offer documentation prior to
the expiration of the offer, which is currently scheduled for 12:01
a.m. EDT on May 27, 2020.
Phillips 66 requests that a copy of this news release be
included with all distributions of materials relating to TRC
Capital’s mini-tender offer related to shares of Phillips 66’s
common stock.
