SHAREHOLDER NOTICE: Brodsky & Smith Announces an Investigation of Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. (NYSE – BRMK)
BALA CYNWYD – February 27, 2023 /Newsfile/ – Law office of Brodsky & Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. (“Broadmark” or the “Company”) (NYSE – BRMK) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of federal and state law in connection with the Company’s agreement to merge with Ready Capital Corporation (“Ready Capital”) (NYSE -RC). Under the terms of the agreement, each share of Broadmark common stock will be converted into 0.47233 shares of Ready Capital common stock. The respective closing stock prices for Ready Capital and Broadmark on February 24, 2023 imply an offer price of $5.90 per Broadmark share. Upon the closing of the merger, Ready Capital stockholders are expected to own approximately 64% of the combined company’s stock, while Broadmark stockholders are expected to own approximately 36% of the combined company’s stock.

For example, the implied deal consideration is below the 52-week high of $8.91 for the Company’s shares.
