Last week, the company had said it had received an unsolicited bid from a third party that had participated in a strategic alternatives process, but the bid did not show “adequate committed funding”.
The hedge fund said “notwithstanding the proposed price of $12.76 per Class A Share, the special committee cannot support a transaction that has significantly less certainty of closing than the transaction with Rithm.”
Asset manager Rithm Capital had agreed to acquire Sculptor Capital for $639 million in July. Rithm had said that it would pay $11.15 per class A share of the hedge fund.
Sculptor has been exploring a sale since last year, amid a legal battle with its founder Daniel Och.
On Wednesday, the company’s board reaffirmed the recommendation for the proposed transaction with Rithm.
