- INDUS Realty Trust (NASDAQ:INDT) stock surged 10% to $63.00 in Monday premarket trading after Centerbridge Partners and GIC Real Estate proposed to acquire the industrial REIT for $65.00 per share.
- The price in the unsolicited, non-binding proposal represents a 13% premium to INDUS stock's closing price of $57.28 on Friday. The company's board said it will review the proposal "to determine the best path forward" that "maximized value for all of the company's shareholders."
- In addition, the board "remains confident in the company's performance, strategy, and growth prospects," it said.
- When contacted by Seeking Alpha, Centerbridge, which holds a 14.8% stake in INDT, declined to elaborate on its reasons for making the proposal. (Updated at 9:47 AM ET)
