What the filing says
Harte Hanks announced expiration of its 60-day Go-Shop Period on September 15, 2026, during which the company solicited interest from 93 third parties and received unspecified Acquisition Proposals. The company designated Exempted Parties and reaffirmed its recommendation of the Star Equity Holdings merger agreement dated August 14, 2026, under which Star will acquire Harte Hanks for $5.00 cash or 0.50 shares of Star preferred stock per share, with aggregate cash capped at $19.2 million. The company faces a $1.152 million termination fee if it accepts a Superior Proposal post-Go-Shop; the Board has not yet determined any proposal qualifies as Superior.
Why this rating
Merger under way with known terms ($19.2M cash cap ~72% of $26.8M market cap); Go-Shop completion routine. Direction neutral—reaffirmed recommendation suggests status quo, but deal risk remains pending shareholder/regulatory approval.
