Vacasa, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCSA) (“Vacasa” or the “Company”), a
leading vacation rental management platform in North America, today
confirmed that it has received an unsolicited, non-binding proposal
(the “Proposal”) from Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP to
acquire all outstanding shares of the Company at a price of $5.25
per share.
On December 30, 2024, Vacasa entered into a definitive agreement
(the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Casago, a premier
vacation rental property management company, will acquire all
outstanding shares of the Company held by public stockholders at a
price of $5.02 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the
Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement remains in place, and the
Board of Directors of Vacasa (the “Board”) has not withdrawn or
modified its recommendation that the shareholders of Vacasa vote in
favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement.
Vacasa’s Special Committee of the Board (the “Special
Committee”), consistent with its fiduciary duties and the terms of
the Merger Agreement, will carefully review the Proposal in
consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor,
including evaluating the contingencies, due diligence and
documentation requirements and implications for transaction timing,
to determine whether it is or would reasonably be expected to
result in a “Superior Proposal” as defined in the Merger Agreement.
Vacasa shareholders do not need to take any action at this
time.
PJT Partners is serving as financial advisor and Vinson &
Elkins LLP is acting as legal advisor to the Special Committee.
