Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT) has completed its previously announced acquisition of Preferred Apartment Communities (PAC) for $25.00 per share of common stock, without interest, in an all-cash transaction valued at $5.8 billion.
The holders of each series of PAC’s preferred stock will receive the $1,000 per share liquidation preference for each share of preferred stock plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, without interest.
As a result of the transaction, PAC’s common stock will no longer be listed on any public market.
Joel T. Murphy, PAC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Today’s closing of BREIT’s acquisition of PAC marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for PAC. This outcome, with over 99% of voting stockholders supporting the acquisition, reinforces the merits of this transaction and the value of the hard work our team has done leading up to and throughout this process. I would like to thank the Blackstone team for being so collaborative as we worked together to achieve this result. We look forward to the next phase for PAC.”
Jacob Werner, Co-Head of Americas Acquisitions for Blackstone Real Estate, said, “We are pleased to complete this acquisition on behalf of our BREIT investors and welcome the talented PAC team to Blackstone. Inclusive of this transaction, approximately half of BREIT’s portfolio comprises residential properties largely located in the West and South regions of the U.S., which are seeing robust demand and stable occupancy. PAC’s portfolio of high-quality multifamily in key SunBelt markets and grocery anchored retail centers is a complementary addition to BREIT’s portfolio of stabilized, income-generating assets, and we look forward to being long-term owners of these properties.”
