Plymouth Industrial REIT has disclosed a lawsuit filed by Redimere Advisors LLC alleging a breach of an engagement letter. The plaintiff is seeking an emergency injunction to prevent the transfer of $60 million related to the pending merger and to direct these funds to a third-party trustee. While the lawsuit introduces a significant potential financial liability, the plaintiff has explicitly stated they are not seeking to enjoin the merger transactions themselves, which mitigates the immediate risk to the merger's completion. The company intends to vigorously defend against the claims. Investors should monitor the outcome of the January 20th hearing, as a successful injunction could impact the net proceeds or create a post-merger liability.
