Analysis · LXP · Real Estate & Construction
The preliminary proxy statement for the $61.20 per share all-cash acquisition by Brookfield and CPP Investments has been filed by LXP Industrial Trust. With the go-shop period expiring on August 28, 2026 and no competing proposal submitted, the last major uncertainty around the deal is now removed. The proxy also discloses BofA Securities' fairness opinion, a detailed negotiation history showing Brookfield raised its offer from $50.00 to $61.20 per share over 14 months, and golden parachute compensation for executives. Shareholders will vote at a special meeting on a date still to be set; approval requires a majority of all outstanding shares, making non-votes effectively votes against the merger.
