LXP Industrial Trust (LXP) Risk Analysis

Completion of the proposed Merger is subject to a number of closing conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Merger by the affirmative vote of the holders of our common shares entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at a shareholder meeting on the Merger. We can provide no assurance that such approval will be obtained or that all closing conditions will otherwise be satisfied (or waived, if applicable), and, even if such approval can be obtained and all closing conditions are satisfied (or waived, if applicable), we can provide no assurance that other events will not intervene to delay the proposed Merger or result in the termination of the Merger Agreement. Any adverse consequence of the proposed Merger could be exacerbated by any delays in completion of the proposed Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement. Each party's obligation to consummate the proposed Merger is also subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party (subject to customary materiality qualifications) and compliance in all material respects with the covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement as of the closing of the proposed Merger, including, with respect to us, covenants to conduct our business in the ordinary course and to not engage in certain kinds of transactions prior to closing (with certain specified exceptions). In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, in connection with a change in the recommendation of our Board of Trustees to enter into an agreement for certain alternate proposals. As a result, we cannot assure you that the proposed Merger will be completed even if our shareholders approve the Merger, or that, if completed, it will be exactly on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement or within the expected timeframe.

The proposed Merger may not be completed within the expected timeframe, or at all, as a result of various factors and conditions, some of which may be beyond our control. If the proposed Merger is not completed for any reason, including as a result of the shareholders failing to approve the Merger, our shareholders will not receive any payment for their common shares. Instead, we will remain a public company, the common shares will continue to be listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange and registered under the Exchange Act, and we will be required to continue to file periodic reports with the SEC. Moreover, if the Merger is not completed, our ongoing business may be significantly adversely affected, and we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following: we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on our share price, and it is uncertain when, if ever, the price of our common shares would return to the prices at which our common shares currently trade;we may experience negative publicity, which could have an adverse effect on our ongoing operations including, but not limited to, retaining and attracting tenants and employees;we would still be required to pay certain significant costs relating to the proposed Merger, such as legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees, and other related costs, which may relate to activities that we would not have undertaken other than in connection with the proposed Merger;we may be required to pay a cash termination fee to Parent of up to approximately $108.2 million, as required under the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances;while the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities, including, among other things, restrictions on our ability to engage in certain kinds of material transactions, including, subject to certain exceptions, acquiring other properties or disposing of currently owned properties, making capital expenditures, or incurring indebtedness, which could prevent us from pursuing strategic business opportunities, taking actions with respect to the business that we may consider advantageous and responding effectively and/or timely to competitive pressures and industry developments, and may, as a result, significantly adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition;matters relating to the proposed Merger require substantial commitments of time and resources by management, which could result in the distraction of management from ongoing business operations and pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us; and we may commit significant time and resources to defending against litigation related to the proposed Merger. If the proposed Merger is not consummated, the risks described above may materialize, and they may have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our common shares, particularly to the extent that the current market price of our common shares reflects an assumption that the proposed Merger will be completed.
