Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities and shareholder rights law firm, announces that it is investigating the acquisition of Excel Trust, Inc. (NYSE: “EXL”) (“Excel” or the “Company”) on behalf of its shareholders. Excel announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Blackstone Property Partners L.P., under which Blackstone will acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of Excel for $15.85 per share.

Our investigation has determined that the offer price of only $15.85 per share unfairly under-values the true going forward inherent value of Excel and that shareholders are not receiving the maximum value for their shares. Indeed, among other things, an analyst has projected that Excel’s stock is worth at least $16 per share. The investigation further seeks to determine whether senior management of Excel are acting in their own self-interests at the expense of shareholders.

If you are a shareholder of Excel and would like additional information as to how the acquisition may affect your rights as a shareholder, and how you may be eligible to obtain a higher price for your shares, please contact us toll free at 1-800-906-6432 or contact us via our website.
