Deal Structure and Timeline
Under the agreement, Brookfield will purchase all outstanding shares of the industrial real estate investment trust for $21 per share in cash. This offer represents a 34% premium over Peakstone’s closing price last Friday. Officials confirmed the transaction is expected to finalize before the conclusion of the second quarter.
