LXP Industrial Trust shareholders approved the LXP acquisition by Brookfield Asset Management and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board on October 26, 2026. Common shareholders will receive $61.20 per share in cash if the transaction closes, with completion expected on November 2, subject to remaining closing conditions.

Key Takeaways

  • More than 99% of votes cast at the special meeting supported the merger.
  • The agreement values the transaction at approximately $5.2 billion, including net debt and preferred equity.
  • Shareholder approval does not complete the acquisition; LXP will leave public markets only after closing.

LXP acquisition clears shareholder vote

LXP said more than 99% of votes cast at its October 26 special meeting favored the merger. The votes cast represented approximately 82% of outstanding common shares as of the record date.

The vote satisfies the shareholder-approval requirement identified when the transaction was announced in July. Completion remains subject to satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions in the merger agreement.

After certification by its inspector of election, LXP plans to file the final voting results with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as part of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Cash terms and the path to private ownership

The July 20 merger announcement set the consideration at $61.20 in cash for each LXP common share and valued the transaction at approximately $5.2 billion, including net debt and preferred equity. The agreement is not subject to a financing condition.

Upon completion, LXP shares will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other public market, and the company will become privately held. The expected November 2 closing date is a timetable, not confirmation that the deal has been completed.

LXP is a real estate investment trust focused on Class A warehouses and distribution facilities in 12 target markets across the Sunbelt and Midwest. At the July announcement, its portfolio comprised approximately 53 million square feet across 108 properties.
