NEW YORK and TORONTO, Nov. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM, TSX: BAM) (“Brookfield”) and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPP Investments”), today announced the completion of their acquisition of LXP Industrial Trust (“LXP”) in an all-cash transaction.

The transaction values LXP at approximately $5.2 billion, including net debt and preferred equity. Under the terms of the agreement, LXP shareholders will receive $61.20 per share in cash. As the transaction has now been completed, LXP’s shares no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange and LXP is a privately held company.

LXP’s portfolio comprises 107 industrial properties spanning approximately 52 million square feet in attractive markets in the Sunbelt and Midwest. The properties benefit from strong occupancy and long-duration leases that generate durable cash flows and are well positioned to benefit from demand for modern, high-quality logistics properties. These assets will be integrated into Brookfield's global logistics platform, which spans more than 255 million square feet across over 850 properties in 20 countries.

“This acquisition reflects our conviction in the long-term fundamentals of the U.S. industrial sector,” said Lowell Baron, Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Real Estate. “We are acquiring a portfolio of modern logistics assets at an attractive basis in markets benefiting from strong demand for large-scale distribution facilities with limited supply. Combined with durable in-place cash flows, embedded rental growth and our operating expertise, these dynamics create a compelling opportunity to drive value for our investors.”

“The acquisition of LXP adds a high-quality, scaled portfolio of modern logistics properties to our diversified portfolio of U.S. real estate investments,” said Sophie van Oosterom, Managing Director, Head of Real Estate at CPP Investments. “With strong occupancy and exposure to key distribution markets, we believe LXP is well positioned to capture further value as logistics markets evolve, supporting attractive long-term returns for the CPP Fund.”
