LaSalle Alert: Johnson Fistel Investigates Proposed Sale of LaSalle Hotel Properties
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of LaSalle Hotel Properties (NYSE: LHO) ("LaSalle ") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Pebblebrook Hotel Trust ("Pebblebrook").
On September 6, 2018, LaSalle announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Pebblebrook. Under the terms of the agreement, for each LaSalle common share owned, each LaSalle shareholder will receive either a fixed amount of $37.80 in cash or a fixed exchange ratio of 0.92 Pebblebrook common share.
The investigation concerns whether the LaSalle board failed to satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for LaSalle shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration.
If you are a shareholder of LaSalle and believe the proposed buyout price is too low or you're interested in learning more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker ([email protected]) at 619-814-4471.
