Revised acquisition proposal from Kawa Capital received by Orion Properties
In a recent development, Kawa Capital Management has made a revised unsolicited offer to acquire Orion Properties Inc., a leading office REIT listed on the NYSE under the symbol ONL. The latest proposal, made on July 18, 2025, values Orion Properties at approximately $1.2 billion[1][2][3]. The offer stands at $2.75 per share in cash, representing a premium of 60% over Orion Properties' closing price on Friday[1][2].
Orion Properties' Board of Directors has formed a special committee to review the proposal, comprised of independent directors. This committee will engage financial and legal advisors to assist in the review process[2][3]. Orion's management team has been informed of the proposal and is cooperating with the special committee.
It is important to note that the offer from Kawa Capital is non-binding and subject to due diligence and financing conditions[1][2]. Shareholders are not required to take any action at this time, and further updates are expected only after the Board completes its review[1][2].
Kawa Capital, based in New York City, specializes in real estate investments[1]. The firm has not previously disclosed its ownership stake in Orion Properties. The proposal is for an acquisition of Orion Properties, which could potentially reshape the office REIT sector.
The post-market price of Orion Properties shares has seen an increase of 3.90% following the announcement[1]. The current post-market price stands at $2.66[1].
This revised offer from Kawa Capital comes after an earlier proposal of $2.50 per share, which was submitted on June 20, 2025, and subsequently rejected by Orion's Board on July 9, 2025[1][2]. The latest update marks a significant step in the potential acquisition of Orion Properties by Kawa Capital.
