AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE TO
This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal, and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) on September 25, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on September 26, 2024 (together, the “Schedule TO”), in connection with the Company’s offer to purchase up to an aggregate amount paid of $9,000,000 of its 6.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Company’s offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in 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 (which together, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”). 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 (the “Exchange Act”).
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. 2 by reference.
The Schedule TO is amended and restated as described below.
Summary Term Sheet
The second bullet point under “Are there any conditions to the Offer?” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
no commencement or escalation of a war or armed hostilities directly involving the United States, which, in our reasonable judgment, is materially adverse to the Company or makes it inadvisable for us to proceed with the Offer;
Section 7. Conditions of the Offer.
The third sub-bullet point under the bullet point “there has occurred any of the following” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
the commencement or escalation of a war or armed hostilities directly involving the United States, which, in our reasonable judgment, is materially adverse to the Company or makes it inadvisable for us to proceed with the Offer;
The last paragraph under this section is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
The conditions referred to above are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition (other than any action or omission to act by us), and may be waived by us, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time in our reasonable discretion on or prior to the Expiration Date. If a condition referred to above is triggered while the Offer is pending, the Company will promptly notify the holders of Series C Shares. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any right, and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time. If we waive any of the conditions described above, we will disclose any material changes resulting therefrom and will, if required by applicable law, amend the Offer to extend the Expiration Date. Any determination by us concerning the events described above will be final and binding on all parties, subject to a stockholder’s right to challenge our determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. See Section 14 under “The Offer.”
