Blackstone-Led Investor Group Completes Previously Announced $2.3B Acquisition Of Alexander & Baldwin, Paying $21.20 Per Share And Taking Company Private

Alexander & Baldwin ("A&B" or the "Company"), a Hawaiʻi-based owner, operator and developer of high-quality commercial real estate in Hawaiʻi, today announced that a joint venture formed by an affiliate of MW Group and funds affiliated with Blackstone Real Estate and DivcoWest (collectively, the "Investor Group") has completed its previously announced acquisition of all outstanding A&B common shares in an all-cash transaction with an enterprise value of approximately $2.3 billion, including outstanding debt. The closing of the transaction follows approval by A&B shareholders at the Company's Special Meeting of Shareholders on March 9, 2026.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, holders of A&B common shares who held their shares through the effective time of the merger are entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to $21.20 per share, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes and less A&B's fourth quarter 2025 dividend of $0.35 per share, which was paid on January 8, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 19, 2025 (resulting in a net payment at closing of $20.85 less any applicable withholding taxes). As a result of this transaction, A&B's common stock has ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange and it is now a private company.

BofA Securities served as A&B's exclusive financial advisor, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Cades Schutte LLP served as legal advisors.

Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and Carlsmith Ball LLP served as Blackstone's legal counsel.
