Alexander & Baldwin released supplemental information on the planned merger with Tropic Merger Sub in response to four lawsuits filed by shareholders and 16 demand letters from counsel. The updated proxy materials include board statements, changes to termination fees, a lack of discussions about the post‑deal management structure, and revised financial projections for 2025–2030 (including 2026 NOI of 147.6 million USD and consolidated net income of 87.1 million USD). The company denies the allegations but announced the supplements to avoid delays; a virtual shareholders’ meeting to vote on the takeover (privatization at 21.20 USD per share, transaction valued at 2.3 billion USD) is scheduled for March 9, 2026. » Más en de.investing.com
