Shares of RPT Realty hit a 52-week high in early trading on news that the company will be acquired by shopping-center operator Kimco Realty for the equivalent of $11.34 a share.
The stock rose 21% to a high of $11.54 in early trading. Shares are up 13% for the year.
Kimco said Monday morning that it will buy RPT in an all-stock transaction valued at about $2 billion. RPT investors will receive 0.6 of a newly issued Kimco share for each RPT share they own, representing about $11.34 per RPT share based on Kimco’s closing price last Friday.
The boards of both companies have approved the deal, which is expected to close in early 2024.
