MacKenzie Realty Capital Announces Starwood REIT Tender Offer

ORINDA, Calif., Feb. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc. (NASDAQ:MKZR) ("MacKenzie" or the "Company") announced the launch of a tender offer to purchase up to 150,000 Class S shares of Starwood Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. ("Starwood") for $15.30 per share, an approximate 30% discount to Starwood's estimated net asset value of $21.84 as of November 30, 2024.

Starwood is a non-traded real estate investment trust, and its share redemption program is oversubscribed. The share redemption program only redeemed approximately 4% of each stockholder's December 2024 repurchase request. Thus, shareholders are not able to effectively redeem their shares via repurchase from Starwood unless they own less than $500. Our offer gives Starwood shareholders the opportunity to get out of all shares quickly rather than taking many years at the current rate. 

If MacKenzie and its affiliates are successful in purchasing 150,000 shares of Starwood, they will have invested $2.295 million for shares that Starwood estimates are worth $3.276 million. This represents a potential $981,000 gross profit if that estimated value is realized in the future. MacKenzie and its affiliates purchased over $2 million in Starwood shares in their August 2024 tender offer at $17.50 per share, and they have been submitted for redemption.  We believe it is likely that 4% of them will be redeemed based upon Starwood's recent redemption rate, which would result in a ~25% return in less than a year on the shares redeemed. We hope that the offer launched today will have similar results. 

This material does not constitute an offer to buy any of the Class S shares of Starwood. The full details of the offer are set forth in the Company's Offer to Purchase and in the related Assignment Form, which you should read, available at www.mackenziecapital.com/tenders/SREIT.pdf, or by calling or writing us for a free copy.
