WILMINGTON, DE / ACCESSWIRE / July 15, 2019 / Rigrodsky & Long, P.A.:

Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it has filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on behalf of holders of Chesapeake Lodging Trust (“Chesapeake”) (NYSE: CHSP) common stock in connection with the proposed acquisition of Chesapeake by Park Hotel & Resorts Inc. (“Park”), PK Domestic Property LLC (“Parent”), and PK Domestic Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”) announced on May 6, 2019 (the “Complaint”). The Complaint, which alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against Chesapeake, its Board of Directors (the “Board”), Park, Parent, and Merger Sub, is captioned Kent v. Chesapeake Lodging Trust, Case No. 1:19-cv-01201 (D. Del.).

If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff’s counsel, Seth D. Rigrodsky or Gina M. Serra at Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 300 Delaware Avenue, Suite 1220, Wilmington, DE 19801, by telephone at (888) 969-4242, by e-mail at [email protected], or at http://rigrodskylong.com/contact-us/.

On May 5, 2019, Chesapeake entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Park, Parent, and Merger Sub. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Chesapeake will receive $11.00 in cash and 0.628 shares of Park common stock for each share of Chesapeake (the “Proposed Transaction”).

Among other things, the Complaint alleges that, in an attempt to secure shareholder support for the Proposed Transaction, defendants issued materially incomplete disclosures in a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Complaint alleges that the Registration Statement omits material information with respect to, among other things, Chesapeake’s financial projections and the analyses performed by Chesapeake’s financial advisor. The Complaint seeks injunctive and equitable relief and damages on behalf of holders of Chesapeake common stock.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 13, 2019. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Any member of the proposed class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
