In a media release to the Daily Business News on MHProNews, Skyline Champion Corporation (NYSE: SKY) announced that certain “shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders”) intend to offer for sale 6,000,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, the Selling Shareholders expect to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares from the Selling Shareholders.”
MHProNews contacted an informed source to ask about this development. Per that source, the “Selling shareholders still own the vast majority [of the stock]…look at the filing. Owning public companies is not their job. 1. Buy 2. Improve and 3 Exit. Their job is done..time to move on. Given how much they own, [it] will take another 2 years to exit..so you want to get out when things are good.”
Per the SKY statement, “The Selling Shareholders will receive all of the net proceeds from this offering. No shares are being sold by the Company.”
“Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Jefferies LLC will act as lead bookrunning managers for the offering,” according to Skyline Champion.
What follows is an extended quote from their release to Business Wire (a Berkshire Hathaway Company), Seeking Alpha and others, which will be followed by an additional comment from an informed source, plus related information and links.
