Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On June 27, 2018, Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (the "Company") entered into purchase agreements with minority stockholders (the "Minority Stockholders") of WebFinancial Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which the Company purchased shares of common stock and preferred stock of WebFinancial Holding Corporation in exchange for aggregate consideration totaling $12.5 million, comprised of cash, 185,407 common units of the Company, no par value (the "Common Units"), and 186,271 6.0% Series A preferred units of the Company, no par value (the "Preferred Units"). The Minority Stockholders were given a choice as to the form of consideration received. The Company has made an offer to repurchase the common stock and preferred stock of the remaining minority stockholders of WebFinancial Holding Corporation on the same terms as the recently completed purchases.
The Common Units and Preferred Units were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based on the fact that (i) each of the Minority Stockholders is an "accredited investor," as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D and (ii) the Company did not use any form of general solicitation or advertising to offer the Common Units or Preferred Units.
