ISPO--
Stoney Lonesome asserts that the current merger proposal is a result of broken governance, insufficient boardroom independence, and a disregard for independent shareholders' interests. The letter states that the Special Committee should fulfill its fiduciary duties by seriously considering the Exclusive Investments' bid, which offers $3.15 per share in cash. Stoney Lonesome believes that continuing the proxy solicitation process while a superior cash offer exists fails to meet the Special Committee's fiduciary obligations to shareholders.
The letter also calls on the Special Committee to halt the Buyerlink proxy process and clarify why it characterized the Exclusive offer as only "reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal." Stoney Lonesome argues that the Exclusive bid is already demonstrably superior to the Buyerlink transaction.
In a separate development, Inspirato has received multiple financial commitments totaling approximately $22 million to improve its capital structure in connection with the proposed merger with Buyerlink. The commitments include $10 million in senior secured debt, $5 million in junior debt, and $7.3 million in preferred equity [3]. These commitments are expected to be finalized at the close of the transaction and will be used to refinance the existing Senior Secured Convertible Note issued to Capital One.
Inspirato shareholders are urged to read the definitive proxy statement and other documents filed with the SEC carefully, as they contain important information regarding the proposed merger. The merger is subject to risks and uncertainties, including the possibility that the contemplated financing may not be completed.
