Pebblebrook Hotel Trust Revises Offer to Acquire LaSalle Hotel Properties, New Deal Valued at $4.17B

by John Nelson June 12, 2018

BETHESDA, MD. — For the fourth time since March, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) has revised its merger proposal with LaSalle Hotel Properties (NYSE: LHO). Both hospitality REITs are based in Bethesda. Pebblebrook’s offer is contingent on LaSalle breaking off its current merger agreement with Blackstone Group. Pebblebrook submitted its offer to LaSalle’s board of trustees a few weeks after Blackstone and LaSalle came to terms on their merger. Blackstone’s deal was for $4.8 billion in an all-cash transaction. While a lower total dollar amount, Pebblebrook’s $4.17 billion offer excludes a debt portion, and The Wall Street Journal reports that Blackstone’s deal was valued at $3.7 billion when excluding debt. Pebblebrook’s board of trustees has unanimously approved the new deal. “The board of Pebblebrook remains convinced that a strategic combination with LaSalle represents a value-maximizing opportunity for the shareholders of both LaSalle and Pebblebrook,” said Jon Bortz, chairman, president and CEO of Pebblebrook. The hospitality REIT’s new offer represents a 13 percent premium over the Blackstone agreement. For each LaSalle common share held, each LaSalle shareholder may elect to receive $37.80 in cash (compared to Blackstone’s $33.50 per share offer) or a fixed exchange ratio of 0.92 Pebblebrook share.
