IMH Financial Corporation Announces Preliminary Results Of Tender Offer

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- IMH Financial Corporation (the "Company") today announced the preliminary results of its tender offer to purchase up to 477,170 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock ("Class B Shares") and 22,830 shares of the Company's Class C Common Stock ("Class C Shares") at a price of $2.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The tender offer expired at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on January 11, 2019.

Based on a preliminary count by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the tender offer, the total number of Class B Shares and Class C Shares tendered in the tender offer was 2,016,738 and 101,676 shares, respectively. Because the preliminary information received from the depositary indicates that the tender offer was oversubscribed, it is expected that the number of Class B Shares and Class C Shares that the Company will purchase from each tendering shareholder will be prorated so that the Company purchases a total of 477,170 Class B Shares and 22,830 shares of Class C Shares in the tender offer for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million.

The number of Class B Shares and Class C Shares expected to be purchased by the Company, the aggregate purchase price for the shares, and the proration factor are preliminary and subject to final confirmation by the depositary and the proper delivery of shares tendered. The final results of the tender offer, including the final proration factor, will be announced promptly following completion of the confirmation process. Payment for Class B Shares and Class C Shares accepted for purchase by the Company will be made in accordance with the terms of the tender offer promptly following final confirmation of the number of shares tendered and the final proration factor, and taking into account adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional shares. Shares not purchased due to proration will be credited to the account maintained with the book-entry transfer facility by the participant who delivered the shares pursuant to the terms of the tender offer.

If shareholders have any questions, please call the depositary, Computershare, by telephone, toll free at (800) 546-5141 or contact Denise Garcia, the Company's Assistant Vice President – Shareholder Services via email: [email protected] or by telephone at (480) 840-8452.
