News

Plymouth Industrial REIT PLYM recently announced that it has received an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from Sixth Street Partners, LLC, aimed at acquiring all of the outstanding shares of the company’s common stock for a cash consideration of $24.10 per share.

Shares of this industrial REIT witnessed a 47.06% rise in the regular trading session on the NYSE on Tuesday, following the announcement.

As per the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which discloses the proposal, Sixth Street beneficially owns approximately 9.99% of Plymouth's outstanding common stock.

In accordance with its fiduciary duties and following consultations with its financial and legal advisors, the company’s board of directors will thoroughly review the proposal to ascertain the course of action that it considers to be in the best interests of all Plymouth shareholders.

The company, which focuses on the acquisition, ownership and management of single- and multi-tenant industrial properties, noted that shareholders are not required to take any action at this time.

Plymouth, with its opportunistic acquisitions and healthy leasing activity, is well-positioned to benefit. However, macroeconomic uncertainties and tariff issues remain a major concern in the near term.

In the past three months, shares of this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company have rallied 36.7% against the industry's decline of 0.1%.
