Oct. 3, 2019 9:03 AM ET|About: Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (BKD)|By: Liz Kiesche, SA News Editor
In a letter to its shareholders, Brookdale Senior Living (NYSE: BKD) calls Land & Buildings' nominee for its board, Jay Flaherty, "unfit to serve on the board" and says he could endanger Brookdale's relationships with its largest landlords.
Urges shareholders to vote for its nominees -- Victoria Freed and Guy Sansone -- at the company's annual meeting on Oct. 29, 2019.
Notes that Glenview Capital Management, its largest stockholder, has endorsed both of Brookdale's nominees.
Says the company has tried to come to an agreement with Jonathan Litt's Land & Buildings, but, "at every turn, Land & Buildings has declined our proposals."
Previously: Investor Litt urges split of Brookdale into REIT and senior housing operator; shares up 2% (Nov. 30, 2018)
------------------------------------------------------
Held this for a short time last year on acquisition/Buy-Out rumors but deal never got done. It was rumored to get done at $9-$10 per share. BOD is dysfunctionall . .I see that one activist investor agrees.
Not enough in it IMO to get me interested again.
Note: There was some proposal to split out some assets and merge w/ another REIT |

Sounds like the same move made by HCP and it's largest similar competitor whose symbol escapers me ?tra or trs? both REIT's and they got burned with lower government payments - even as demographics suggest it to be a growing business.
No position.

Goes nice with my Xylem position and IMO a prime area (water infrastructure) for GE's, and others, for acquisiton targets. RE: Ionics, Betz, Nalco
Pall- PLL- still on the watch list but more expensive in terms of price to sales. |
