PSA... | Hot Stocks20:03 EST Fly Intel: Top five weekend stock stories - Catch up on the weekend's top five stories with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Public Storage (PSA) sent a letter to Mark G. Barberio, Life Storage's (LSI) Chairman, and Joseph V. Saffire, Life Storage's CEO, with respect to its proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares and units of Life Storage in an all-stock transaction. Under the terms of the proposal letter, holders of Life Storage shares and units would receive 0.4192 shares of Public Storage common stock for each Life Storage share or unit they own, which represents a 19% premium based on the 20-day trailing VWAPs of Public Storage and Life Storage as of February 3, 2023. The proposed transaction would be structured to be taxable to Life Storage equityholders, which would give the combined company a step-up in the tax basis of the acquired assets, providing an enhanced ability to retain free cash flow and fund future accretive growth. Public Storage's Board of Trustees has unanimously approved the proposal. 2. Danaher (DHR) has expressed takeover interest in contract manufacturer Catalent (CTLT) and overtures made in recent months valued Catalent at "a significant premium," people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg's Liana Baker, Michelle Davis and Ed Hammond.
