On January 23, 2008, Post Properties, Inc. issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has authorized management to initiate a formal process to pursue a possible business combination and to seek proposals from potentially interested parties.
The Company also stated that it has received an unsolicited written proposal from Cadim and Williams Realty Advisors, LLC to acquire all of the Company’s outstanding common shares at a price range of $44 to $47 per share in cash. Cadim is a division of Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec; Williams Realty is controlled by John A. Williams, former chairman and chief executive officer of Post Properties. The proposal states that it is subject to a due diligence condition, but is not subject to any financing contingencies. The Cadim/Williams group will be invited to participate in the formal process being initiated by the Company.
The Company does not expect to disclose further information regarding the status of the formal process until the process has been completed. The Company emphasizes that there can be no assurance that the initiation of the formal process to pursue a possible business combination will result in any transaction.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
