마이크로소프트 (MSFT)는 2025년 2월 21일자 TRC Capital Investment의 비공식 '미니 테너' 제안에 대한 답변을 발표했습니다. TRC는 마이크로소프트의 보통주 300,000주를 주당 391.00달러에 구매할 것을 제안하며, 이는 마이크로소프트의 발행 주식의 0.01%에도 미치지 않습니다.

마이크로소프트는 이 제안에 대해 중립적인 입장을 유지하며 TRC와는 관련이 없습니다. 회사는 주주들에게 다음을 권장합니다:

  • 현재 시장 가격 확인
  • 중개인 또는 재정 고문과 상담
  • 제안의 조건 및 조항 검토
  • 제안에 대해 주의할 것

이 제안은 2025년 3월 24일에 만료될 예정입니다. 마이크로소프트는 미니 테너 제안(5% 미만의 주식)은 대규모 테너 제안과 동일한 SEC 공개 및 절차 요구 사항이 없으며, 투자자 보호가 더 적다고 강조합니다.

REDMOND, Wash., March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. has received notice of an unsolicited "mini-tender" offer by TRC Capital Investment Corporation (TRC) dated Feb.21, 2025, to purchase up to 300,000 shares of Microsoft's common stock at a price of $391.00 per share in cash. The offer represents less than 0.01% of Microsoft's outstanding common stock.

Microsoft is not affiliated with TRC and does not endorse the offer documentation or the offer itself. Microsoft expresses no opinion and is neutral on TRC's offer and encourages shareholders to obtain current market quotations for their shares of Microsoft common stock consult with their brokers or financial advisors, to review the terms and conditions of the offer, to consider any changes TRC may make to the terms (including pricing) and conditions, and to exercise caution with respect to TRC's offer. TRC's offer is currently scheduled to expire one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 24, 2025. TRC may extend the offer, or subject to the conditions of the offer, terminate it, before the expiration date.

TRC has made many similar mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. A mini-tender offer is an offer for less than 5% of a company's shares. It is 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 as provided for larger tender offers under U.S. securities laws. The SEC has cautioned investors about mini-tender offers, providing guidance to investors at https://www.sec.gov/about/reports-publications/investorpubsminitend.

Microsoft requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distributions of materials relating to TRC's mini-tender offer.
