Law Office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC Announces Investigation of Interstate Hotel & Resort, Inc.

Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Interstate Hotel & Resort, Inc. (“Interstate Hotel” or the “Company”) (NYSE:IHR) related to the proposed acquisition by Hotel Acquisition Co., LLC, a joint venture between Thayer Lodging Group and Shanghai Jin Jiang International Hotels.

Under the terms of the transaction, Interstate Hotel stockholders will receive $2.25 in cash for each share of Interstate Hotel common stock they own. The transaction is valued at approximately $307 million. The investigation concerns whether the board breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to various deal protections that may prevent other superior offers. These protections include a no-solicitation provision, the board’s agreement to pay a $3.0 million termination fee, and may require the Company to reimburse costs in an amount up to $1.5 million or $3.5 million.
