Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 13, 2023, the board of directors of Lightstone Value Plus REIT II, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a self-tender offer (the “Lightstone Offer”) to commence on or about November 28, 2023, for up to 860,000
shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) at a price of $6.00 per Share, or approximately $5.2 million of Shares. Unless extended or withdrawn, the Lightstone Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on or about Friday, December 29,
2023.
The Company is conducting the Lightstone Offer in response to an unsolicited offer to stockholders by West 4 Capital LP (“West 4”) to purchase up to 860,000 Shares at a price equal to $5.51 per Share in cash. The
Company is making the Offer in order to deter West 4 and other potential future bidders that may try to exploit the illiquidity of Shares and acquire them from stockholders at prices substantially below the most recently published estimated NAV per
Share.
In connection with its approval of the Lightstone Offer, on November 13, 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved the suspension of the Company’s share redemption program (the “SRP”) effective November 20, 2023.
Pursuant to the terms of the SRP, while the SRP is suspended, the Company will not accept any requests for redemption and any such requests and all pending requests will not be honored or retained, but will be returned to the requestor.
The Lightstone Offer will be further described in the offer to purchase and letter of transmittal filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The full details of the Lightstone Offer, including complete
instructions on how to tender shares, will be included in the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and other related materials, which the Company will make available to stockholders and file with the SEC upon commencement of the Lightstone
Offer. For more information, see “Important Information” below.
