Brighthouse Financial Recommends Shareholders Reject 'Mini-Tender' Offer by Potemkin Limited
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Brighthouse Financial, Inc. ('Brighthouse Financial' or the 'company') (Nasdaq: BHF) announced today that it has received notice of an unsolicited 'mini-tender' offer made by Potemkin Limited ('Potemkin') to Brighthouse Financial shareholders to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Brighthouse Financial's common stock at a price of $36.00 per share. This means that Brighthouse Financial shareholders who tender their shares in the offer will receive a price significantly below the current market price for the company's common stock and which is an approximate 41.12% discount to the closing price of the company's common stock as of May 19, 2025 ($61.14 per share).
Brighthouse Financial does not endorse Potemkin's unsolicited mini-tender offer and is not affiliated or associated in any way with Potemkin, its mini-tender offer or the offer documentation. Brighthouse Financial recommends that shareholders do not tender their shares in response to Potemkin's offer because the offer is at a price that is significantly below the current market value of Brighthouse Financial's common stock.
The offer is currently scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 16, 2025, unless extended or earlier revoked by Potemkin. Shareholders who tender their shares may withdraw them in the manner described in Potemkin's offering documents.
A mini-tender offer is an offer for less than 5% of a company's shares and is therefore not subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') for larger tender offers. As a result, mini-tender offers do not provide investors with the same level of protections under U.S. securities laws that are provided for larger tender offers. The SEC has cautioned investors about mini-tender offers, providing guidance to investors at https://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.
Brighthouse Financial encourages brokers and dealers, as well as other market participants, to review the SEC's letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosures at https://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm and the NASD Notice to Members 99-53 issued in July 1999 regarding guidance to members forwarding mini-tender offers to their customers, which can be found at https://www.finra.org/sites/default/files/NoticeDocument/p004221.pdf.
Shareholders should obtain current market quotations for their shares of Brighthouse Financial common stock, consult with their broker or financial advisor and exercise caution with respect to Potemkin's mini-tender offer.
Brighthouse Financial requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distributions of materials relating to Potemkin's mini-tender offer related to Brighthouse Financial's common stock.

Mesoblast (ASX:MSB) Gains 15% In One Week With US FDA Orphan-Drug Approval
Mesoblast experienced a 15% increase in its share price over the past week, largely driven by a significant orphan-drug approval by the U.S. FDA for Ryoncil. This approval, granting seven years of exclusivity for a vital treatment, likely bolstered investor confidence given the strengthened competitive positioning of Mesoblast. While broader market trends saw the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reach new highs amid positive investor sentiment on U.S.-China trade discussions, Mesoblast's specific gains were more tied to its unique developments, as they provided a substantial boost, counterbalancing broader market movements. You should learn about the 1 warning sign we've spotted with Mesoblast. Explore 22 top quantum computing companies leading the revolution in next-gen technology and shaping the future with breakthroughs in quantum algorithms, superconducting qubits, and cutting-edge research. Over the past three years, Mesoblast's total shareholder return, including share price changes and dividends, reached 181.00%. Despite recent gains driven by the U.S. FDA's orphan-drug approval for Ryoncil, the company's one-year performance outpaced the broader Australian Biotechs industry, which returned 12.3% less in the same timeframe. This highlights significant investor confidence and a positive reception to recent strategic advancements. While Mesoblast's share price has experienced impressive growth, it still trades at approximately 88% below consensus analyst price targets. The approval of Ryoncil positions the company competitively, potentially boosting future revenue, as evidenced by the expanded insurance coverage to 104 million U.S. lives. However, Mesoblast remains unprofitable, with A$47.93 million in net losses reported in its recent earnings. Analysts forecast substantial revenue growth at 56.7% annually, but profit forecasts show continued challenges for the next three years. The stock's recent appreciation reflects increased optimism, although the gap between the current share price and targeted fair value suggests room for further market adjustments. Our comprehensive valuation report raises the possibility that Mesoblast is priced lower than what may be justified by its financials. This article by Simply Wall St is general in nature.
