Small Bump in Price Does Not Cure Fatally Flawed Sale Process

Both ISS and Glass Lewis Concluded STAY's Process Was Flawed, the Sale Price Inadequate and the Transaction Timing Wrong

Tarsadia Continues to Urge Shareholders to VOTE on the GOLD Card AGAINST the Proposed Sale

Tarsadia Capital, LLC together with its affiliates, associates and funds it manages ("Tarsadia"), today commented on the updated offer from Blackstone Real Estate Partners and Starwood Capital Group to acquire Extended Stay America, Inc. (NASDAQ:STAY) ("STAY" or the "Company"). Tarsadia continues to urge shareholders to Vote Against the proposed sale (the "Sale") on the GOLD card at the Special Meeting scheduled for June 8, 2021.

Tarsadia issued the following statement:

"A $1 bump in price is a small Band-Aid that cannot cure a fatally flawed process. The updated offer announced today, representing just a 5% increase over the previous price, is nothing more than an attempt to jam through a transaction that still significantly undervalues the Company and was the result of a process that was not designed to elicit the highest bid for STAY or create competition for Blackstone and Starwood. Notably, both leading independent proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC, in their reports recommending shareholders vote against the Sale, concluded there were serious flaws in the sale process, valuation and timing of the transaction. We continue to urge shareholders to vote Against the Sale."

Tarsadia Urges STAY Shareholders to Vote AGAINST the Sale on the GOLD Card
