Monitor Blackstone's financial condition and any margin calls. A default and subsequent foreclosure by Morgan Stanley could result in a large block trade or secondary offering, severely diluting public shareholders and depressing the stock. The company's agreement not to hinder remedies removes a key defense against such an outcome.

Executive Summary
Blackstone, the majority owner of Jersey Mike's, has pledged approximately 54.3% of the company's outstanding Class A common stock (on a fully-exchanged basis) as collateral for approximately $1.09 billion in margin loans from Morgan Stanley and other lenders. The company itself is not a party to the loans but has agreed not to hinder lender remedies, creating a risk that a default by Blackstone could trigger a forced sale of a controlling stake.
