Rite Aid, Albertsons Terminate $24B Merger Amid Stockholder Pushback

by Camren Skelton August 9, 2018

CAMP HILL PA. AND BOISE, IDAHO — Rite Aid Corp. (NYSE: RAD) announced Wednesday it has called off its previously announced merger with Boise-based grocery chain Alberstons Cos. The $24 billion deal, first announced in February, would have allowed Albertsons to go public. Under the terms of the transaction, Rite Aid shareholders would have held a 29 percent stake in the combined company. The integrated company would have operated about 4,900 locations, 4,350 pharmacy counters and 320 clinics across 38 states and Washington, D.C. “While we believe in the merits of the combination with Albertsons, we have heard the views expressed by our stockholders and are committed to moving forward and executing our strategic plan as a standalone company,” said John Standley, chairman and CEO of Rite Aid, in a prepared statement. The merger has faced pushback from a number of stockholders and investors in the months leading up to a shareholder vote over the deal, which was originally scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 9, but has since been called off. In June, Highfields Capital Management, an investment management firm that holds approximately 47 million Rite Aid shares, said it would vote against the merger, claiming it did not offer compelling value …

Rent-A-Center Stock Rebounds Following News of Buyout

by Taylor Williams June 21, 2018

PLANO, TEXAS — After announcing on Monday, June 18, it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by Vintage Capital Management, Rent-A-Center Inc. (NASDAQ/NGS: RCII) has seen its stock price increase steadily throughout the week. The company’s stock price opened at $14.78 per share on Thursday, June 21. This figure represents a nearly 23 percent increase in the span of just one week, but remains a far cry from the peak price of $40 per share in summer 2013. Vintage Capital agreed to acquire Rent-A-Center for $15 per share in a transaction that is valued at approximately $1.4 billion and which will take the Plano-based retailer private. The deal is expected to close before year’s end. The price represents a premium of approximately 49 percent over Rent-A-Center’s closing stock price of $10.07 per share on Oct. 30, 2017. According to one retail analyst, Rent-A-Center’s struggles stemmed from several factors, including a high number of new competitors in the home goods sector and the lack of financial resources to establish robust online sales. “Rent-A-Center is an interesting case because it kind of bleeds into that personal services category, yet it’s not especially resistant to e-commerce because of the physical goods …

by John Nelson March 27, 2018

NEW YORK AND CHICAGO — Brookfield Property Partners (NASDAQ: BPY) has agreed to acquire all remaining shares of GGP Inc. (NYSE: GGP), a Chicago-based mall owner. BPY, a global real estate company based in New York City, and its affiliates already hold a 34 percent stake in GGP. The deal struck between the two parties is for GGP shareholders to receive $23.50 per share in cash, a total cash consideration of $9.25 billion. Alternately, shareholders may elect to receive stock in either BPY or a new REIT that BPY plans to list on one of the major U.S. exchanges. “This is a compelling transaction that enables GGP shareholders to receive premium value for their shares and gives them the ability to participate in the long-term upside of their investment,” says Brian Kingston, CEO of BPY.
