SHAREHOLDER ALERT: WeissLaw LLP Investigates Weingarten Realty Investors

NEW YORK, April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors of Weingarten Realty Investors ("Weingarten" or the "Company") WRI in connection with the proposed cash-and-stock acquisition of the Company by Kimco Realty Corporation ("Kimco") KIM. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each Weingarten common share will be converted into 1.408 newly issued shares of Kimco common stock plus $2.89 in cash, representing per-share merger consideration of approximately $30.32 based upon Kimco's April 14, 2021 closing price of $19.48. Upon consummation of the deal, Kimco shareholders will own approximately 71% of the newly-combined company, leaving only 29% of the new company controlled by former Weingarten shareholders.
