Type: Update

Accession Number: 000114036125013750

Filing Summary: Vacasa, Inc. received a proposal from Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP on March 30, 2025, to acquire 100% of the company's outstanding share capital for $5.83 per share in cash. The Special Committee of Vacasa's Board is carefully reviewing this proposal amidst concerns regarding certain conditions, primarily the need for an amendment to the Company's Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA) which requires majority approval from TRA holders. Despite Davidson Kempner's willingness to enhance terms, the Committee has found the proposal lacking in deal certainty. The Committee has requested a waiver from Casago Holdings, the existing partner in a merger agreement, to engage further with Davidson Kempner regarding the proposal. The Committee is actively seeking conditions that would make the proposal actionable and has set a deadline for Davidson Kempner to respond by April 14, 2025. The pursuit of a deal is framed by a comparison to the ongoing Casago merger, which is viewed as more certain and advantageous for stockholders. They emphasize their commitment to maximizing stockholder value and maintaining good faith in negotiations.

Type: New

Accession Number: 000114036125013319

Filing Summary: Vacasa, Inc. has proposed a transaction with Casago Holdings, LLC, offering an all-cash deal of $5.30 per share, representing a significant premium to the affected share price. This acquisition is seen as beneficial for Vacasa shareholders, ensuring near-term value and certainty. The Special Committee, comprised of independent directors, conducted a strategic review over eight months, evaluating alternatives before determining that Casago's proposal was the only actionable offer. The proposal follows another from Davidson Kempner, which was deemed not actionable due to lack of support for a waiver of the Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA). The merger is set to close by late April or early May 2025, and the Vacasa Board recommends shareholders vote in support of this transaction at the upcoming special meeting. The Committee's analysis concluded that failing to secure a transaction poses significant risks to Vacasa's standalone strategy due to liquidity constraints and market uncertainties.

Filing Summary: On April 8, 2025, Vacasa, Inc. filed a definitive additional materials proxy statement regarding its proposed merger with Casago Holdings, LLC and Vacasa Holdings LLC. The statement highlights a recommended acquisition offer price of $5.30 per share, which represents a significant premium to the last unaffected share price of $3.81 as of December 27, 2024. An independent Special Committee oversaw the strategic review process and determined that Casago's proposal is the best option for shareholders amidst market uncertainties and risks associated with the company's standalone strategies. The Board urges shareholders to vote in favor of the transaction at the special meeting scheduled for April 29, 2025. It states that the proposal eliminates public shareholder investment risks, provides near-term cash certainty, and has been evaluated as the only actionable proposal available. Factors leading to this merger include the need for a definitive transaction to secure shareholder value and the complications arising from an initial proposal from Davidson Kempner, which was deemed non-actionable due to the lack of necessary amendments to the Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA).

Filing Summary: On March 17, 2025, Vacasa, Inc. announced the acceptance of a revised acquisition proposal from Casago Holdings, LLC, increasing the price to $5.30 per share in cash. This follows a decision from the Special Committee of the Board of Directors after thorough consultation with external advisers.

The Special Committee evaluated a competing proposal from Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP to acquire the Company at $5.75 per share but determined it did not qualify as a superior proposal. The Board approved the updated agreement with Casago, seeing it as a more certain route to closing without the complications posed by Davidson Kempner's contingencies. The Company plans to expedite the mailing of the definitive proxy statement to its shareholders, aiming to close the transaction by the end of April 2025. The decision is framed within the context of maintaining operational stability and stakeholder confidence.

Filing Summary: Casago and Vacasa, Inc. have entered into a definitive merger agreement where Casago will acquire all outstanding shares of Vacasa at a price of $5.02 per share in cash. This transaction, anticipated to close in early 2025, aims to create a robust vacation rental management platform by combining operational strengths from both companies. The merger is expected to enhance service quality for homeowners and guests by leveraging local teams and resources. Vacasa will become a privately held entity post-merger, and stock will no longer be publicly traded. The acquisition represents a significant premium over Vacasa's recent share prices, underlining the strategic nature of this move. Key advisors for the transaction include Jefferies LLC and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP for Casago, while PJT Partners and Vinson & Elkins LLP are advising Vacasa's Special Committee. Roofstock will also invest in the combined company, aiming to optimize property management capabilities.
