By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The general partners of 17 real estate limited partnerships run by Shurgard Inc. of Seattle urged investors yesterday to reject a $309.5 million cash offer for their units from U-Haul International Inc. In a letter to the limited partners, Shurgard's general partners said U-Haul was using scare tactics to persuade partners to sell their units at a "fire sale price." Earlier this year, Shurgard filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to consolidate the partnerships into a publicly traded real estate investment trust. At the time, Shurgard valued the partnerships at a combined $393 million. On Dec. 3, U-Haul, the nation's largest provider of rental trucks and trailers, offered to buy the 17 real estate partnerships run by Shurgard for $309.5 million. The offer will expire on Jan. 3.
