Rithm to Host Investor Conference Call to Discuss Transaction Today at 8:30 a.m. ET

NEW YORK --(BUSINESS WIRE)

Rithm Capital Corp. (“Rithm” or “Rithm Capital”), a global alternative asset manager, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Paramount Group, Inc. (NYSE: PGRE) (“Paramount” or the “Company”), a vertically-integrated real estate investment trust that owns, operates, manages, and redevelops Class A office properties in New York City and San Francisco, for total cash consideration to Paramount shareholders of approximately $1.6 billion. Paramount’s portfolio includes 13 owned and 4 managed high quality office assets, totaling more than 13.1 million square feet, 85.4% of which is currently leased as of June 30, 2025.

Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, Rithm will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Paramount common stock for $6.60 per fully diluted share. Rithm expects to fund the transaction with a combination of cash and liquidity from Rithm’s balance sheet and potential opportunities from co-investors. The addition of the Paramount portfolio will create new opportunities for investors to access Rithm’s real estate platform and bolster Rithm’s asset management business.

“We believe the acquisition of Paramount is a generational opportunity that will serve as a springboard to build out our commercial real estate and asset management platform and expands our owner-operator model,” said Michael Nierenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Rithm. “The Paramount portfolio is situated in cities where we have a strong conviction in the recovery of office market fundamentals, including improving rent rolls, a more favorable interest rate environment, and increasing demand. We believe Rithm’s asset management business is well-positioned to create value in the commercial real estate market, with a growing footprint of high-quality office assets and the expert urban development and complimentary office management capabilities of our GreenBarn team and broader platform.”

“We are incredibly proud of the high-quality portfolio we’ve built and believe strongly in its intrinsic value,” said Martin Bussmann, Lead Independent Director of Paramount. “Together, the Board and management team have found an ideal partner in Rithm, which offers the financial scale needed to improve our fundamental operating performance. After an extensive process and evaluation of a range of strategic alternatives, we are pleased to have reached this agreement which will deliver immediate, full and fair value to our shareholders.”

The transaction is expected to close in late Q4 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of Paramount’s common stockholders.
