Soho House Enters Merger Agreement with EH Parent for $200M Financing
In a regulatory filing, Soho House said that as previously disclosed, on August 15, 2025, Soho House entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with EH Parent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of The Yucaipa Companies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and EH MergerSub Inc. In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, MCR Hospitality Fund IV LP and MCR Hospitality Fund IV QP LP delivered an equity commitment letter pursuant to which MCR committed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to purchase $200M of shares of Merger Sub common stock at a price of $9.00 per share, at or prior to the closing of the Merger.

In the meantime, the Company will proceed with its special meeting of stockholders to adopt the Merger Agreement, scheduled to occur on January 9, 2026. The parties to the Merger Agreement intend to close the Merger as soon as possible following the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing under the Merger Agreement."

Soho House Finalizes Agreement for Private Ownership
Soho House has entered into definitive agreements pursuant to which an investor group led by MCR and its Chairman and CEO Tyler Morse will acquire the outstanding shares of Soho House not held by certain significant shareholders. SHCO Executive Chairman Ron Burkle and the Yucaipa Companies LLC ("Yucaipa") will roll their controlling equity interests in the company and retain majority control of the business.

The offer implies a total enterprise value of approximately $2.7B for SHCO. MCR, the third largest hotel owner-operator in the U.S., will become a shareholder of SHCO and Tyler Morse will join the company's Board of Directors as Vice Chairman. MCR's portfolio includes iconic assets such as the TWA Hotel at JFK Airport, The High Line Hotel and the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City and the BT Tower in London. Funds managed by affiliates of Apollo are supporting the transaction through a hybrid capital solution, by providing additional capital in the form of debt and common equity, a portion of proceeds will be used to refinance the company's existing Senior Secured Notes. Existing significant shareholders including Richard Caring, Nick Jones and Goldman Sachs Alternatives, will roll the majority of their shares of the common stock of the company. Goldman Sachs Alternatives is also committing additional capital. The Board of Directors unanimously approved the proposed transaction.
