Victory Capital adds proxy disclosures on $7.03 billion First Eagle deal amid lawsuits
Victory Capital filed an 8-K with supplemental disclosures to its proxy statement for the planned acquisition of First Eagle, which it says it made voluntarily to reduce the risk of litigation delaying the deal. Two stockholder lawsuits and a number of demand letters allege the proxy statement was materially incomplete and misleading, and Victory says those claims are without merit. The company states the supplemental disclosures do not change the consideration or the timing of the November 17, 2026 special meeting.
Key points
- Base purchase price for First Eagle is $7.03 billion, subject to adjustment, including a reduction for First Eagle's funded debt and other debt-like items.
- Share consideration is valued at $2 billion based on $116.26 per share and represents 4.9% of Victory's outstanding common stock after issuance.
- Two complaints were filed in New York Supreme Court on October 27 and October 28, 2026, and plaintiffs seek to enjoin the deal or seek rescission or damages.
- The special meeting of Victory stockholders is scheduled for November 17, 2026, and the board still recommends voting FOR the proposals.
