Event Summary

Brookfield Asset Management and CPP Investments (CPP Investments) have agreed to acquire LXP Industrial Trust in an all-cash deal valued at approximately $5.2 billion, including net debt and preferred equity. Under the terms, LXP shareholders will receive $61.20 per share, a 12.3% premium to the 30-day volume-weighted average price. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, after which LXP will become privately held and its shares will cease trading on the New York Stock Exchange. LXP owns a portfolio of about 53 million square feet of warehouse and logistics facilities across 108 properties in key U.S. industrial markets, primarily in the Sunbelt and Midwest. The agreement includes a 40-day go-shop period ending August 28, 2026, during which LXP may solicit alternative proposals. LXP has also suspended dividends until closing.
