Organization Organization
Peakstone Realty Trust (NYSE: PKST) is an industrial real estate investment trust (“REIT”), with a strategic focus on growth in the industrial outdoor storage (“IOS”) sector. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
PKST OP, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), owns, directly and indirectly all of the Company’s assets. As of March 31, 2026, the Company owned, directly and indirectly through a wholly-owned subsidiary, approximately 93.2% of the outstanding common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”).
As of March 31, 2026, our portfolio consisted of 77 industrial properties within one reportable segment (the “Industrial” segment). The portfolio included 61 IOS properties and 16 Traditional Industrial properties. IOS properties have a low building-to-land ratio, or low coverage, maximizing yard space for the display, movement and storage of materials and equipment. “Traditional Industrial” properties include distribution, warehouse, and light manufacturing facilities. Of the 77 properties in our portfolio, 73 were operating properties and four were designated for redevelopment or repositioning.
During 2025, the Company completed its strategic transformation to an industrial-only REIT through the disposition of all properties in its Office segment. As a result, the Office segment was eliminated as of December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s plan to dispose of its Office segment properties represented a strategic shift in its business that met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2025, 27 Office segment properties were classified as discontinued operations (the “Office Discontinued Operations Properties”). The Company presented the results of the Office segment through the year ended December 31, 2025, with results attributable to the Office Discontinued Operations Properties presented separately as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Proposed Mergers
On February 2, 2026, we and the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “Company Parties”), BSREP V Neon Pooling REIT L.P., BSREP V Neon Pooling Non-REIT L.P. and BSREP V Brookfield Neon Sub L.P., each a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, “Parent”), Neon REIT Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of Parent (“REIT Merger Sub”), and Neon OP Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of Parent (“Operating Merger Sub” and, collectively with REIT Merger Sub and Parent, the “Parent Parties”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).
The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (i) Operating Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Operating Partnership, with the Operating Partnership surviving the merger (the “Surviving Partnership” and such merger, the “Partnership Merger”) and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the Partnership Merger, REIT Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “Surviving Entity” and such merger, the “Company Merger” and, together with the Partnership Merger, the “Mergers”). Upon completion of the Company Merger, Parent (or subsidiaries thereof) will be the sole common shareholders of the Surviving Entity, and the Surviving Partnership will be wholly owned by Parent and the Surviving Entity (or subsidiaries thereof).
The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were unanimously approved and declared advisable by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Company. At a special meeting of shareholders held on April 29, 2026, the Company’s shareholders approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
At the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time”), each common share, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $21.00 per share, without interest.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Partnership Merger (the “Partnership Merger Effective Time”), each common unit of the Operating Partnership (each, an “Operating Partnership Common Unit”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the REIT Shares Amount (as defined in the Eighth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, dated as of April 13, 2023, by and between the Company and the limited partners party thereto, as amended, in effect on such date with respect to such Operating Partnership Common Units) multiplied by (ii) $21.00, without interest.
The Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights, including the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Mergers have not been completed by 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on August 2, 2026.
In certain specified circumstances further described in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company will be required to pay Parent a termination payment of $16.0 million or $34.0 million, as applicable pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.
The Parent Parties have secured committed financing, consisting of a combination of (i) equity financing to be provided by investment funds affiliated with Parent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an equity commitment letter provided by such funds, and (ii) debt financing to be provided by certain lenders on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a debt commitment letter, the aggregate proceeds of which will be sufficient for the Parent Parties to pay all amounts the Parent Parties may be obligated to pay pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the Mergers.
