Extra Space Storage has struck a $12.7 billion deal with Life Storage, which earlier rejected an unsolicited offer from Public Storage
Extra Space Storage Inc. has struck a $12.7 billion deal to combine with smaller rival Life Storage Inc., which earlier rejected a bid from industry behemoth Public Storage, executives from the companies said.
Life Storage stockholders are set to receive 0.8950 of an Extra Space share for each share they own, or $145.82, the companies plan to announce later Monday. That is more than 30% above Life Storage’s stock price before The Wall Street Journal for the company. Life Storage stock closed Friday at $131.09, giving the company a market value of $11.2 billion.
