AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE TO
This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended and supplemented, the “Schedule TO”) originally filed by Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), on February 21, 2025 in relation to the Company’s offers to purchase up to an aggregate amount paid of $9,500,000 of (i) up to 584,615 shares of the Company’s 6.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C Shares”) for a purchase price of $16.25 per share, in cash (the “Series C Offer”), and (ii) up to 535,211 shares of the Company’s 7.25% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Shares”) for a purchase price of $17.75 per share, in cash (the “Series B Offer”), each less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The Series C Offer and Series B Offer are together referred to as the “Offers,” and each, an “Offer.” The Offers are each being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated February 21, 2025 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached to this Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively. This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Except as amended hereby to the extent specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO, Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal, and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, and all other exhibits to the Schedule TO, remains unchanged and is hereby expressly incorporated into this Amendment No. 1 by reference.
Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO are amended and restated as described below.
Cover Page of the Offer to Purchase
The third sentence onward of the second paragraph on the cover page is deleted and replaced with the following:
Accordingly, holders of Series B Shares who tender their Series B Shares in the Series B Offer may not have any of such shares accepted for purchase if the aggregate purchase price for Series C Shares that are validly tendered equals or exceeds the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount. All Series C Shares properly tendered will be accepted for purchase before any Series B Shares properly tendered will be accepted for purchase. If the number of Series C Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn exceeds the Series C Share Cap, we will prorate the number of Series C Shares accepted for payment and will not purchase any Series B Shares. If, after purchasing Series C Shares, the number of Series B Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn exceeds the lesser of the Series B Share Cap or a number of Series B Shares having an aggregate price equal to the remainder of the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount available to purchase Series B Shares, we will prorate the number of Series B Shares accepted for payment. For additional information with respect to acceptance priority and proration, see Section 1 under “The Offers.”
