Steel Partners Holdings offered to acquire all outstanding shares of InMode (NASDAQ:INMD) for $16.75 each.
This proposal provides a $0.55 per share premium over a competing buyout offer from the chief executive.
"Our offer price is a 20% premium to the unaffected price of $13.95," said Steel Partners Holdings management.
The investment firm stated existing investors can roll over up to 40% of their current equity.
The bidding group demanded an independent board evaluation.
The proposal claims the chief executive manipulated earnings expectations by valuing the business using a reduced EBITDA baseline.
The letter alleges the executive sold roughly 11 million shares before repurchasing equity at lower market valuations.
