Overview

  • Under the proposal, CLV Group and Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC will pay $13.55 per unit in cash, valuing the deal at about $4 billion including debt.
  • InterRent’s board has launched a 40-day go-shop period through July 6 to solicit potentially superior takeover offers.
  • Completion hinges on a two-thirds majority vote by unitholders and a separate majority of votes excluding CLV Group and its affiliates.
  • Activist investor Anson Funds, which holds a 9% stake, welcomed the premium offer but indicated potential for higher bids during the go-shop.
  • The transaction carries break fees of $49 million during the go-shop and $79 million afterward and is slated to close by early 2026.
