How do buyout offers work for investors of alternative assets On Public?
Updated over a week ago

If we receive an offer to purchase an asset at a significant premium to our estimated FMV (Fair Market Value), we may empower shareholders to provide feedback via a vote. Note that this feedback is nonbinding. Anyone can submit an offer to buy an asset. We will review and consider if it’s at a premium above both the current market cap on Public and recent sales of the same item in the market.

Votes will be weighted pro-rata, and we will generally approve a sale only if at least 50% of shares vote for a buyout to be approved. While shareholder feedback is an important input on whether we accept or reject a buyout offer, per the offering circular, we ultimately reserve the right to make the final decision on any buyout offers.

During voting, any prospective buyers can submit a counteroffer. You can submit a buyout offer directly by emailing us at alts@public.com.
