Despite a higher bid of $5.83 per share from hedge fund Davidson Kempner, Vacasa's board endorsed Casago's lower bid of $5.30 per share. Davidson Kempner accused Vacasa of favoring certain shareholders, but Vacasa denied these claims, emphasizing its commitment to shareholder interests.

Vacasa Merger Controversy: Davidson Kempner's Criticism

Vacasa's merger with Casago, agreed at $5.30 per share, faces opposition from hedge fund Davidson Kempner. The fund, a Vacasa shareholder and creditor, has submitted a higher bid of $5.83 per share but claims the Special Committee is biased, favoring the insider-backed Casago deal. Davidson Kempner's new letter criticizes the committee for unfair practices, including tight deadlines and a limited waiver in the Tax Receivable Agreement, hindering fair evaluation of competing bids.

Vacasa has accepted an increased offer from Casago to purchase the company at $5.30 per share, up from the initial $5.02. Despite a higher $5.75 per share offer from Davidson Kempner, Vacasa's board did not consider it superior. Vacasa's shares rose 3% on the Casago offer, with the deal expected to close next month. Vacasa reported a decline in headcount to 4,300 and a 19.6% drop in gross booking value to $1.9 billion in 2024. The acquisition will take Vacasa private.
