ISS recommends against LaSalle deal with Blackstone

In this article:

Aug 24 (Reuters) - Proxy advisory firm ISS said Friday that private equity firm Blackstone's $33.50 per share cash offer for hotel operator LaSalle Hotel Properties was not the best outcome for shareholders.

The recommendation adds weight to a competing bid by Pebblebrook Hotel Trust that is in the form of both cash and stock. (Reporting by Harry Brumpton Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)
